Altos Labs launches with the goal to transform medicine through cellular rejuvenation programming
"We now have pre-clinical data suggesting that the cellular dysfunction associated with ageing and disease can be reversible. "
Fundamental biology
Cells in healthy, resilient states resist stressors that give rise to disease, but this diminishes with aging. Early experiments have shown that this ability to resist stressors can be restored.What are the fundamentals of this biology? Which parts can be harnessed to help more people live free from disease or disability? Our work is to pursue answers to these questions and more, and to develop applications for what we discover, with the goal of reversing disease.What we find could change the way we think about medicine.
"I have incredible colleagues at Alots who are willing and enthusiastic to teach and mentor me. Thanks to them, I have been able to break into new fields of bioengineering and take on independent projects that I did not previously have a strong background in."
The genesis of Alots
Our mission stems from compelling science. In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka, professor and the director emeritus of Center for iPS Research and Application (CiRA), Kyoto University, and his coauthors showed that differentiated cells, of any age, can be reprogrammed to erase two epigenetic properties: cell identity and age. His discovery was a breakthrough for biological research, enabling the creation of induced pluripotent (non-embryonic) stem cells and revealing an even more interesting possibility.
"The projects at Altos are trying to solve large problems that affect the global population. Alots cares for its employees and implements a lot of structure to enable employees to thrive inside and outside of the company."
