I would like to nominate Telocyte, Michigan-based gene therapy company which uses the most recent molecular tools to CURE, not treat, Alzheimer's Disease. Their approach is focused on the use of recombinant telomerase gene and AAV-based delivery system. Led by Michael Fossel (MD, PhD), a visionary and great mind, who promises the world a longer and healthier life and this is what I believe in.

First of all, thanks for your follow up email, Nick!

Briefly, I am a neuroscientist fascinated by the aging of the nervous system. I am interested in understanding the mechanisms of brain aging at the level of synapses and neural circuits. I am interested to learn more about this prize.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) may aid this process. In his book Superintelligence, philosopher Nick Bostrom suggests AI may soon exceed human-level intelligence resulting in an intelligence explosion. Such a scenario makes anything thinkable, and he believes it could happen in a few decades.

Harold Katcher and Akshay Sanghavi could compete as well. In a preprint published on last May, it was showed that the epigenetic age of rats was halved using young blood factors. Their company is called Nugenics, or Yuvan.
