Senescence.io was born with a single goal in mind: to cure aging.
At the moment, as I write these lines (2021-06-26) I have no formal training in Genetics, Biology or Biotechnology whatsoever. I studied physics and computer science, and I have been working as a Software engineer and Product Manager for the last 10 years of my life. So you might be wondering why I am stepping so far outside from my comfort zone?
Simple: Because I am convinced that it is possible to cure ageing.
Not only possible, but it's desirable.
It's achievable.
How could I, someone with zero experience in life sciences, even begin to understand the complex mechanisms behind ageing? And if I wanted to do it, where should I start? These are some of the questions that I will attempt to answer here, sharing my journey, taking you along the way step by step, hoping that we can embark on this adventure together as a community.
Because as Aubrey De Grey mentioned in his book "Ending Aging":
Once your pro-ageing trance is no more, you—yes, you— can make a difference to how soon ageing is defeated, and the fulfilment you will derive from that effort will far outweigh any comfort you may have found in your previous certainty that ageing can never be defeated.
