The EU is funding a moonshot: solving aging itself. 🧬

The EIC just opened a major grant call — Biotechnology for Healthy Ageing. Up to €4M per project, 100% funded.

What it is and how to get in 🧵👇

[Linus Petersson @LinusPeters]

An EIC Pathfinder Challenge aimed directly at the biology of aging.

Deadline: 28 Oct 2026.

It funds: • age-related interventions • biomarkers for aging • new methods to replace animal testing

We haven’t tried to expand lifespan for long

[Martin Borch Jensen @MartinBJensen]

Reminder why the tail of lifespan hasn't moved much yet.

[The Longevity Initiative @longevityinit]

We’ve been on there for a while, but just officially launched on @LinkedIn!

Check out our article on what we started a think tank, not a biotech – and please give us a follow over there and share our page with your network. https://t.co/W0pqLkOexP

Brian gets it

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Aging is arguably the root cause of most major diseases (loss of function in our cells). Four years ago, we made a bet that aging was treatable, and NewLimit was born.

NewLimit now has a prototype drug that reverses the age of some human cells (restores function they had when they were younger), and a clinical trial scheduled for next year (with more drug candidates in the pipeline).

Grateful to Founders Fund, Thrive, Greenoaks, and the rest of the investors for this latest round. @jacobkimmel and the team are just getting started.

@celinehalioua The nomenclature is a really tricky problem! Leaning towards 'longevity drugs' myself

[Krister Kauppi - Rapamycin Longevity Lab @KristerKauppi]

The largest-ever lifespan analysis of 601 mTOR modulators is now completed! This project has been driven by Rapamycin Longevity Lab (@omipalRLL) in partnership with @OraBiomedical (CEO @benblueAK, CSO Yan Ting Zhao, AI Engineer Ishan Ranasinghe, Co-founders @mkaeberlein , @BKennedy_aging, @mitchellblee33, @jangruber467 & Jason Pitt). Our mission has been to identify compounds even more potent than Rapamycin in extending lifespan in roundworms.

I am deeply grateful for the community’s support for this historic project and big thanks to all our sponsors who made this possible!

PS 1: Big thanks also to Victor Björk for the help with the fundraising!

PS 2: All lifespan data is now available on the Rapamycin Longevity Lab’s LID database (link in the comment section). You can find the top 20 and bottom 20 lists right here in the social media image! Big thanks to Andrew Steele (@statto) for the great suggestion to create a bottom list as well!

PS 3: The next step is to collaborate with different parties to analyze the data and also see if the data translates to other species. Reach out if you want to collaborate!

Fantastic development. Longevity needs to be top of the agenda

@BWalkerTTAGGG Interesting!

[Linus Petersson @LinusPeters]

I want elephant-tier TP53.

Humans got 1 gene, 2 alleles. Elephants got ~20 copies because apparently evolution gave them the enterprise plan.

Result: giant, long-lived animals with weirdly low cancer rates.

Meanwhile I’m here with the free version of tumor suppression.
