Summary
Lada Nuzhna is a researcher and founder driven by two questions: how did we get here, and how do we stay. Lada dropped out of college to pursue her biology research as a Thiel fellow, and to co-found Impetus Grants which funds breakthrough longevity science. Through Impetus, she has allocated over $34M to fund some of the most ambitious projects and clinical trials in aging. She is now developing a new therapeutic modality to target diseases of aging through her startup, General Control. In addition to her work as an investor and founder, Lada is a prolific author of short-form and long-form content, which you can find through her Twitter (https://x.com/ladanuzhna) and Blog (https://www.ladanuzhna.xyz).
