My guest today is David Gobel who is the co-founder & CEO of the Methuselah foundation. Methuselah foundation has donated several million dollars for the advancement of longevity research and regenerative medicine. Their goal is to make make 90 the New 50 by 2030. I’m definitely rooting for that!
Dave was an entrepreneur before he decided to jump into the field of longevity. In my conversation with him, we discuss how he got excited about longevity research, companies funded by Methuselah including Oisin Biotechnologies, the concept of longevity escape velocity, his work with the super centenarian research foundation, how one can get involved in funding longevity companies and more.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
