Matt kaeberlein us already a member, but doesnā€™t visit often and has a lot going on. His social media preferences are Twitter but with his phasing out of academia seems to be less active there.

After signing up for the University of Washington Survey on Rapamycin, I think Tammi Kaeberlein or Matt recommended I come to this site. Someone did.

That is how I got here.

Excellent suggestion.

Kaeberlein is phasing out academia? how do you know?

Wow, so many people have been lately. Many of them with minimal teaching loads too.

Matts been talking about it for the past year in private, but with the announcements of Oral Biomedical, and then OptiSpan Ventures, I think heā€™s been more open about it.

I think he believes he can move the field forward faster now outside academia than inside.

I know that one of our members did a ā€œcoldā€ email to Sabatini asking questions and never got a response.

Nir is very focused on Metformin and is generally extremely cautious when it comes to rapamycin, so doubt heā€™d be too interested.

And Joan Mannick is of course leader of Tornado Therapeutics developing a ā€œcompetitorā€ to rapamycin, and has said that she doesnā€™t take rapamycin (see the bottom of list of ā€œwho in the Health and Longevity Field is taking rapamycinā€ thread).

What happened to restorbio???

It shut down when their phase 3 clinical trial didnā€™t meet the end points (the FDA changed the endpoints between the phase 2 clinical study where it was successful, and the phase 3 trial).
