Gordian Bio, co-founded by Martin Jensen and Leport five years ago, has officially launched its innovative platform designed to accelerate the development of therapies for age-related diseases. The biotech startup, which unveiled its platform yesterday, has raised $60 million to support its high-throughput in vivo screening platform. This platform allows for the simultaneous testing of hundreds of gene therapies in animal models that closely mirror human biology. The company aims to produce more effective therapies more quickly and cost-effectively while using fewer animals.
Harvard geneticist David Sinclair, who has said his “biological age” is roughly a decade younger than his actual one, has put forward his largely unlined face as a spokesman for the longevity movement https://t.co/WeeZ8NGk0w https://t.co/WeeZ8NGk0w
"He claimed last year that a gene therapy invented in his Harvard lab & being developed by a company he co-founded, Life Biosciences, had reversed aging & restored vision in monkeys." from story by WSJ's @AlexLJanin, @AmyDMarcus & @dmosbergen https://t.co/s2o9Uyt4su Gift link
"Preying on very vulnerable people" "The pushback against how Sinclair portrays his work reflects a conviction that a field once considered fringe is gaining legitimacy." https://t.co/6W8V3OsDUV @NirBarzilaiMD @wysscoray @ahlresearch @DBelardoMD @mkaeberlein @dillinlab

After 5+ years in stealth, yesterday @GordianBio unveiled their platform for age-related diseases. Gordian uses gene therapies to merge pooled screening and in vivo testing for the first time. The result will be better therapies, faster and cheaper, using far fewer animals. https://t.co/BH4iaU2uR0

Gordian launches with $60m and platform that predicts outcomes in age-related diseases High-throughput in vivo screening platform can test hundreds of #genetherapies simultaneously in animals closely mirroring human biology. @GordianBio #biotech #aging https://t.co/RJLNrB5M9o https://t.co/U3sLo96hVX
Some of you know I've spent the past ~20 years looking for ways to apply #AgingBiology to improve health (dramatically). Five years ago, what I've learned drove me to start @GordianBio with @leportfr, as a way to cut through biological complexity. Today we're starting to share… https://t.co/Ni01fd57yX
