ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 21, 2019--
AgeX
Therapeutics
, Inc. (NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company
focused on innovative therapeutics for human aging, announced today that
the company will present in multiple sessions at Undoing
Aging 2019, March 28-30 in Berlin, Germany.
Details of the company’s participation follow:
-
Thursday, March 28, 7:00pm CET: “Debate: is comprehensive damage
repair feasible?” with Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., AgeX’s VP, New
Technology Discovery and Vadim Gladyshev, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine
at Harvard Medical School.
-
Friday, March 29, 10:00am CET: As part of the track “Restoring
Cellular Youth,” AgeX’s Founder and CEO Michael D. West, Ph.D.,
will deliver an update on the Company’s regenerative medicine product
development, and in addition, present for the first time data relating
to central molecular aging clockwork mechanisms the Company is
targeting with its induced Tissue Regeneration (iTRTM)
program.
The conference also features a track, “Senolysis,” inspired in part by
Dr. West’s research:
“It has been two decades since West and Campisi began to suggest that
senescent cells might be more than just disabled, but actively toxic.
Since 2011, their idea has not only been confirmed in the lab but has
spawned a huge range of ideas for eliminating such cells, many of which
are already being pursued in startups. The rate of progress is such that
a single session at UA can no longer do justice to it - so, we're having
two!”
A copy of Dr. West’s presentation will be made available on the AgeX
website.
