We are building medicines that will redefine healthcare in the 21st century – therapeutics to lengthen healthspan, the period of life spent in good health.
This weekend I'm headed to the @TheEndoSociety conference in SF where we've been invited to give an oral presentation.
I’ll be sharing with the world for the first time the ability of our lead drug, ATX-304 to 🧵👇

One of the most hollow critiques of translating discoveries about aging biology – “they will only be for the rich.”
Demand curve says no. Preventative medicines are cheaper than other drugs and these will be among the best preventatives of all time.

You can learn more about the historical disparities of women’s health on the @OvivaTx website. While you're there, be sure to explore the incredible work they're doing to improve women’s health through groundbreaking biomedical research! https://t.co/d3Ds4Ekahg
But today, as we celebrate women and the progress made, let's remember that our work isn't done. We must continue pushing for a future where women's health is prioritized, ensuring that every woman receives the care she deserves.

Do you consider the potential impact of medical interventions on individuals' motivation to make difficult lifestyle changes, particularly in cases such as #obesity, where lifestyle changes are challenging but essential for improving health outcomes? 👇
This news is incredibly disheartening for the entire field and those personally impacted by her. We can only aspire, as a community, to build on the foundation she was instrumental in fortifying. May she rest in peace.
It is with great sadness that we share that this week we learned about the passing of Judith Campisi, who was, amongst many other wonderful things, a pioneer in the aging space. (Cont.) https://t.co/zf6It91ah1
She gained widespread recognition for her extensive research on the impact of senescent cells on aging and cancer. Despite facing numerous challenges, she dedicated years to the pursuit of this research, and the data she generated is now acclaimed as a hallmark of aging. (Cont.)

“Nobody would argue that we shouldn’t develop therapies for Alzheimer’s or cancer because these diseases are a natural part of getting older. So, why would this argument hold for aging?” 🧵
(including #mTOR inhibitors, such as those pursued by our pipeline company, Tornado Therapeutics). The article also explores barriers to progress and issues a cautionary note about the 'hype' surrounding less scientifically rigorous aspects of our field.
