Niklas speaks with Sebastian A. Brunemeier.

Sebastian is the Co-Founder and General Partner at Healthspan Capital, a venture fund focused on longevity biotech ("LongBio") & geroscience.

He is also the Co-Founder and CEO at ImmuneAGE Pharma, a drug discovery platform for immune system rejuvenation.

He holds an advisor and board member position at multiple companies and organizations, such as VitaDAO and Molecule AG.

This episode is recorded as a primer to the "Prospera Healthtech Summit 2022", a conference taking place September 23-25 on the island of Roatan, Honduras.

Sebastian talks about the scientific breakthroughs of the past decades that show the path to end or at least significantly slow human aging.

What remains is an engineering challenge.

What follows is a wide-ranging conversation about the regulatory, policy, and business challenges when it comes to producing scientific innovations in the field of geroscience to result in drugs and therapies to treat humans.

Sebastian argues that the mainstream legal and financial guardrails of the medical system are broken, and instead we need alternative guardrails built on-chain.

Sebastian and the longevity movement are building these alternative guardrails such as decentralized science (de-sci) funding, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and intellectual property (IP) on non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Sounds science-fiction? It is already science-fact. LongBio has attracted close to $5bn in funding in recent years.

Sebastian introduces us to this emerging ecosystem that develops the powers to unleash a new wave of human progress through better health and longer age.

We close the episode by talking about network states, and how Puerto Rico is creating the perfect conditions for a longevity hub.
