Summary
Geroscience sits between hype and skepticism, with headlines swinging from dubious mouse-life supplements to ethically distant fantasies like organ or head transplants. Yet precision medicine has been turning science fiction into reality. Today’s guest, Boyang Wang, thinks lifespan extension is next. Founder of Singapore-based Immortal Dragons, he backs longevity companies—from organ printing to preventive gene therapies. A former computer scientist and tech entrepreneur, Wang now runs a $40M fund supporting underfunded bets on healthspan and aging. Produced and hosted by Jonathan D. Grinstein, PhD Audio mixed and mastered by Erick Ziegler Brought to you by Inside Precision Medicine (SAGE Publishing) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
