Ora Biomedical Secures Funding for Breakthrough Longevity Research with mTOR Inhibitors
  • Ora Biomedical and the Rapamycin Longevity Lab have successfully secured $50,000 to kick off their initiative focused on analyzing 601 mTOR inhibitors in roundworms.

  • Keith Comito, Board President of the Lifespan Research Institute, underscored the significance of rigorous scientific methods in enhancing longevity interventions and thanked contributors for their support in the screening process.

  • Mitchell Lee, CEO of Ora Biomedical, has emphasized the urgent need for improved interventions targeting aging and expressed gratitude to the donors who have supported this initiative.

  • Krister Kauppi, the project leader at Rapamycin Longevity Lab, highlighted the critical importance of developing a large, publicly available dataset to advance the field of longevity research.

  • The next phase of this research will utilize WormBot-AI technology for high-throughput screening of 301 mTOR inhibitors, with the goal of discovering new compounds that may surpass the effectiveness of rapamycin.

  • To complete the dataset necessary for advanced longevity research, an additional $40,000 is needed to fund the remaining 300 mTOR inhibitors.

  • Organizations and individuals interested in supporting this vital research are encouraged to reach out to Krister Kauppi at the Rapamycin Longevity Lab.
