Investing in aging research

• Industry Review on Aging - 2, 38 issues that would be good to cover in such a review (August 2019). Some interesting snippets from comments: "I know that Sergei Brin (the founder of Google) has a wife who is a microbiologist, and he himself seems to be interested in the subject. Bill Gates has repeatedly declared an interest in biological research in order to defeat disease and prolong life. In general, among computer scientists, such interests are easy to arise. In Russia, Oleg Deripaska sponsors one or two foundations, and Gazprom has sponsored some projects in St. Petersburg. On the whole, there is interest, but the long absence of "stunning" results dulls this interest. Bryntsalov, a drug manufacturer and millionaire, regularly uses stem cells and sponsors relevant research." <...> "The scientist who cloned "Dolly the sheep" seems to be working for a company/fund in Asia (Taiwan, South Korea or others) now on the subject of rejuvenation"
