  • At Human Longevity, Inc., J. Craig Venter is building the world’s most comprehensive database of human genotypes and phenotypes to tackle diseases associated with aging.
  • Hal Barron is President of R&D at Calico, a Google-backed company whose mission is to harness advanced technologies to increase our understanding of the biology that controls lifespan.
  • Joon Yun is President of Palo Alto Investors, LLC, with $2.5 billion invested in health care, and the founder of the Palo Alto Prize, a $1 million life science competition dedicated to ending aging.
