Lately, investors and researchers have published more and more information on longevity research and development.

Investors like Sergey Young or  Christian Angermayer started to bet significant capital on this topic.

What is going on in this field on the research side? What are potential applications to increase the Lifespan? And when will those innovations hit the market?

In this episode, I had a conversation in December 2021  with Prof. Collin Ewald, ETH Zürich, about his longevity research and the future impact on the pharma industry.

In this episode, we talk about:

•  What is the role of the extracellular matrix during aging and longevity?
•  Where is currently the innovation for longevity drug discoveries done?
•  What aging research is going on?
• The Swiss Society of Ageing and Longevity Research
•  And much more…

Who is the expert in the show?

Prof. Ewald is Head of the Extracellular Matrix Regeneration Laboratory, Department of Health Sciences and Technology.

Collin has a longstanding interest in the molecular biology of healthy aging and age-related pathologies.

He is the founder and currently the president of the Swiss Society for Aging Research (www.ssfar.ch). He is named under the top 1000 Longevity Leaders worldwide and the top 15 Longevity Influencers in Switzerland. He has received multiple awards, including NYAS Future Entrepreneur, recognized by the New York Academy of Sciences.
