Today’s guest is Karl Pfleger. After spending a decade as one of the first AI researchers at Google from 2002 to 2011, he has dedicated himself to the cause of rejuvenation biotechnology for nearly a decade. He is a philanthropist, community builder, and prolific angel investor with over 35 investments into rejuvenation biotech startups. His website, agingbiotech.info, provides valuable information to the entire field, and his talks and X posts are highly insightful and influential within longevity.
Karl has deeply researched and nuanced takes, and those really show in this conversation. We’ll cover why epigenetic reprogramming won’t solve aging, Karl’s investment strategy and what distinguishes true rejuvenation technology, and why better diagnostic technologies could be the key to personalized aging interventions.
We have a thread with all the other “Free Radicals” podcasts… here: Free Radicals Podcast (Longevity / Biotech oriented)
I will move this over to that thread.
Why? Do people currently know what the “Free Radicals” podcast is? (It seems good, but why a specific thread?)
My thinking is that its better to have a few threads for the major podcasters than a thousand posts , one for each podcast episode, so I try to keep it a little organized along the podcaster … so we have on thread for Lustgarten, one for Kaeberlein/Optispan, one for Free Radicals, etc.
