In Pursuit of Disruptive
Anti-Ageing Drugs
Genflow Biosciences plc is a UK based biotech company with R&D facilities in Belgium and a US office in Cambridge, MA, driven by one mission: to deliver therapeutics that potentially halt or slow the ageing process in humans and dogs.
The company’s lead compound works through the delivery of a centenarian variant of the SIRT6 gene and has yielded promising preclinical results.
Managed by an experienced team with decades of experience in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, the company is optimistic that development programs will continue at pace in the next 24 months.
Transformative Medicine – Compassionate Medicine
Ethically, ageing should now be considered as a risk factor that we can treat. By treating ageing, we believe that Genflow Biosciences can contribute to decrease healthcare costs and lessen the emotional and societal burden that comes with an ageing population.
Recent biological development suggest that how we age can be influenced not just by exercise and diet but also potentially by therapeutic treatments. The potential to slow down the rate at which we age has enormous potential to improve our health.
Intellectually Curious
We see ageing as a natural multifactorial process with the potential to be influenced by therapeutics
Collaborative
We have partnerships with highly experienced research centers and longevity funds
Innovative
We are using most recent gene delivery tools to safely provide extra copies of SIRT6 gene to control ageing
Ethical
We conduct solid preclinical research foundations to support clinical testing
Considerate
We are dedicated to decrease the economic and financial burden that comes with an ageing population
Courageous
We want to be the first company to create a disruptive anti-ageing drug via our lead candidate GF-1002
Rising Older Population
According to the United Nations the proportion of the world aged over 65 is set to rise from 9.3% in 2020 to reach 22.6% by 2100
Increased Health Expenditure
Due To Ageing
The OECD [1] estimates that health expenditure will rise from 8.8% of GDP in 2015 to 10.2% by 2030
Slowing Ageing Opportunity
For the US it has been estimated that the benefits of slowing ageing such that life expectancy increases by between one and two years is worth between $7trillion and $38trillion [2]
