Recap of DeSci & Longevity Biotech 2023 Conference in Próspera
Recap of DeSci & Longevity Biotech 2023 Conference in Próspera
The DeSci & Longevity Biotech Conference was a great success – The event took place in Próspera, a startup city on Roatán. It sparked innovation in regenerative medicine, bioengineering and human governance of healthcare, and it delivered!
Infinita VC in cooperation with Pristine Regenerative Medicine arranged the summit to bring together builders, scientists and thinkers who challenge the status quo.
Let's delve into a review of this remarkable experience!
Próspera: A Hub for Regenerative Medicine & Entrepreneurship
Próspera is becoming a hub for regenerative medicine. It does this by promoting entrepreneurship through new laws and regulations.
Experienced biotech entrepreneurs and clinicians invited scientists, startup founders, and investors to join this important initiative.
Glenn and Heather Terry, founders of GARM Clinic, talked about the Global Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (GARM). GARM aims to improve patients' health and quality of life through regenerative medicine.
Greg Nakagawa is building an ecosystem with Pristine Regenerative Medicine (PRM); the hub for regenerative medicine in Prospera, incl. gene therapy, cell therapy, and tissue engineering and the infrastructure need for medical tourism
Mac Davis and Walter Patterson, the creators of Minicircle, shared their origin story and talked about their work on reversible follistatin gene therapy.
Event Highlights & Notable Speakers and Experiences
The summit featured renowned speakers, including Aubrey de Grey, Jonathan Anomaly, Alexander Bard, Sebastian Brunemeier, Liz Parrish, and other thought leaders. Attendees at the event gained knowledge about Prospera's laws and regulations through introductory sessions. Additionally, they examined real-life examples for further understanding.
Experience from attendees –
“Just home from a PHENOMENAL few days at Próspera on the (utter paradise) island of Roatan, Honduras. The team there are creating something truly world-changing, and there is already a strong focus on regenerative/longevity medicine. Be part of it!”
“The longevity biotech summit struck a perfect balance between work and fun: we pitched new business ideas, listened to great talks, and got to know each other in snorkel masks and at barbecues by the beach. I also met new friends, matched up with a few potential investors, and got to witness what it’s like to build a community from scratch.”
– Jonathan Anomaly
“Besides making lots of new friends for life, the conference made it very clear where Próspera is heading and what makes the project world-class and unique. Longevity for the quantity of life, enculturation for the quality of life.”
– Alexander Bard
“It was an incredible experience to discuss scientific progress with such ambitious, intelligent and kind people. I had numerous conversations that expanded or altered my thinking. Very grateful to everyone at Próspera for the community they are creating.”
– Maia Adar
Beyond academic discussions, we experienced the charm of the Caribbean dreamy Roatán island! From bar crawls to snorkeling adventures, to a lively grill night, the summit successfully combined work and play.
The DeSci & Longevity Biotech 2023 summit lived up to its promise of being a gathering "by builders, for builders." As attendees return home, they will use what they learned to inspire collaborations and advancements in biotechnology and longevity.
Stay tuned for upcoming posts as we will share insights and key moments from the conference!
