Mike West is a legend in the field of Gerontology, the study of aging. Back in the 90's, Mike's company Geron Corp, was the first company to not only successfully isolate embryonic stem cells, but to also isolate the telomerase gene, also known as the immortalizing gene. Gerons discoveries were so significant they prompted the former President of the United States to address the nation.
It was an absolute honor to speak with Mike West, who is currently the CEO of Age X Therapeutics. The conversation, initially planned for only 30 minutes, flew by as it turned into an hour and a half long, mind blowing conversation about pluripotent stem cells, telomerase, and the absolute sci fi levels of potential behind these technologies.
Arnold Schwarzenegger babies, glowing dogs, a 600 year human life span, and growing replacement organs in a petri dish are just a few of the topics we discussed on today's episode. Strap in, because this conversation is going to take you into orbit.
