“Another special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) focused on longevity and rejuvenation biotechnology has appeared recently, and with the addition of research rockstars David Sinclair and Peter Attia, it could mean a bright future for healthy longevity.”
Focusing on increasing healthy longevity
Perhaps the most interesting news here is the inclusion of David Sinclair and Peter Attia, two big names in the aging research and longevity field.
David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, is perhaps best known for his research on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and the NAD+ precursor molecule nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN).
David Sinclair and his team successfully launched the NAD+ Mouse Project with us here on Lifespan.io in 2018 to find out if NMN could increase healthy longevity in mice. That experiment is still currently in progress at Harvard Medical School, and we hope to bring you some news on progress later this year.
David Sinclair has also co-founded a number of biotechnology companies, including being a board member of Life Biosciences, a company and several daughter companies that all collectively work to address the nine hallmarks of aging. He is also the author of the excellent book “Lifespan – Why we age and why we don’t have to“.
Peter Attia is a practising physician who focuses on the practical application of scientific knowledge to support healthy longevity with the tools we have easily available today. As such, much of his focus is upon lifestyle, exercise, diet, sleep, and fasting as ways to maximize health and decelerate aging as much as possible. This is a sensible strategy given that technologies to increase healthy longevity could start to arrive in the next decade or two, so it’s best to stay alive in good health until then.
He hosts the Peter Attia Drive Podcast, a weekly podcast that focuses on maximizing longevity while taking into account the physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects of health. Peter Attia is also the Chief Medical Officer of the fasting app Zero, an app designed to make fasting for longevity and health purposes both safer and easier.
