Anna Vakhryshova, CTO of Unlimited Bio, argues that combination therapies targeting aging early could prevent the 100,000 annual deaths from age-related diseases. She criticizes the decade-long drug pipeline and says intervening before damage accumulates is far more effective than treating disease later.

As the goal of our company is to solve aging. My name is Anna Vakhryshova. I'm CTO and co-founder of Unlimited Bio, where we build combo longevity treatments against aging. Around 100,000 people die every year due to age-related causes. They all feel like it's going so slow. So we wait like for 10 years to get just one drug to the market. It's like very difficult to repair and restore. But when we work preventive on the earliest stages, it's much more easier to us to tackle these different processes and restore. From our understanding, the main limit is 120 years, so it would be a real breakthrough if we prolong human life more than 120 years. So how, like, everything will change, our way of thinking will change.
