Do you want to live healthier and longer?
We see aging as a reversible epigenetic state and we are developing novel therapies based on cellular reprogramming to solve one of the major challenges in human history.
Who are we?

We are an international team of ambitious scientists driven to address fundamental questions in aging research with translational applications to human therapies.

First colony of African turquoise killifish in Switzerland
December 15, 2020
We are very happy to announce the establishment of the first colony of African turquoise killifish in Switzerland!! Thanks to Dario Valenzano and his team for introducing us to this fantastic organism. Thank you also to all the other labs that have helped us during this first year. We are looking forward to making great discoveries to better understand the aging process.
