Medicines for healthspan extension via epigenetics

About NewLimit

NewLimit develops medicines aimed at extending human healthspan by reprogramming aging cells' epigenomes. This involves changing the chemical modifications on DNA and histone proteins to restore youthful functions in old cells, focusing initially on rejuvenating the immune system and liver. The company uses advanced technologies like single-cell genomics and machine learning to identify aging markers and create interventions that reverse these changes. Unlike competitors, NewLimit's approach is centered on epigenetic reprogramming, targeting age-related diseases with the goal of creating a new class of medicines that enhance health during aging. The company serves the healthcare market, working with pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers, and aims to transform aging by developing effective treatments.
