No, none of the companies in the list are primarily or directly focused on longevity (anti-aging research, extending human healthspan/lifespan, or targeting the biology of ageing).

However, a couple have tangential connections through their technologies or broader applications:

  • Colossal (Colossal Biosciences): Primarily a de-extinction and conservation company (e.g., woolly mammoth projects using CRISPR/synthetic biology). Co-founder George Church has separate work in human anti-aging (e.g., via other ventures like Rejuvenate Bio), and Colossal’s multiplex gene editing tech has potential implications for complex age-related interventions, but the company itself is not involved in longevity.
  • Evozyne: Uses AI for protein engineering to design novel proteins, mainly for therapeutics. This could indirectly support longevity-related protein therapies, but no direct involvement.
