Investing in Extending Life

By CNA’s DAWN TAN, Jan 2023

In the second of a four-part series that explores the idea of living longer, CNA’s Dawn Tan looks at the appeal of the longevity industry for investors and private sector firms.

Big investors are zeroing in on age reversal research by biotechnology firms, with massive funding accelerating the pace of such studies. Hong Kong-based Insilico Medicine is among the biotech firms benefitting from the interest.

Multiple investors have poured in more than US$400 million to support the firm since 2014. Among its biggest backers is Pavilion Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore's sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings.

Dr Alex Zhavoronkov, chief executive of Insilico Medicine, said Singapore is one of the major hubs for longevity research.

高龄妈妈备孕心路历程

By 陈映蓁, 2022年12月18日

赵安卓一家去年岁末佳节迎来小宝宝。以45岁高龄怀上第三胎，她分享以健康身心和家人一起迎接新生命的喜悦和感悟。

大约一年前，45岁怀上第三胎的赵安卓面临早产。她比前两次怀孕更照顾自己，所以即便是医学定义的“高龄产妇”，她的妊娠期非常顺利，而且没有任何妊娠疾病，没想到孕期进入第34周时忽然乱了阵脚。

赵安卓认为是自己太大意了，她仍记得羊水破了之前那忙碌的一天：早上7时起身，8时半抵达办公室（她与丈夫在2019年创办了保健服务公司Regenosis），忙到傍晚6时再赶去乌节路买圣诞装饰，挺着大肚子连续站了走了四小时，直至商场打烊。“回到家才感觉两只脚已经不听使唤，太劳累了。”

凌晨3时左右，她的羊水破了，大约一小时后在先生陪同下抵达医院。当时没有任何疼痛，医生建议留院观察。但在医院里待了几天，赵安卓难免担心，加上感觉自己无法和当时的妇科医生好好沟通，因此临时决定找回过去帮她接生两胎的医生。

“经过一系列检查，医生当场决定我必须紧急剖腹。羊水已经到了很低的水平，再等下去风险很高。何况接近35周了，胎儿存活机会很高。”

剖腹手术顺利完成，赵安卓一家人在岁末佳节迎接了健康的宝宝。

Longevity research funding boom: Prominent researcher on why healthspan should be the focus

"I Had My Third Baby At 45 After Being Told I Was Premenopausal" - Andrea Chow

Despite her age, Andrea Chow experienced the most enjoyable pregnancy journey—and she credits it to a customised health makeover courtesy of her job.

Her radiance was unmistakable, a fair rosy glow and sparkling eyes that a Zoom filter can’t possibly impart. It was hard to tell that Andrea Chow had just given birth eight months ago at the not-so-pinkish age of 45. She’s also an uber hands-on mum to her third baby.

“My husband thought I was crazy when I suspected I was pregnant,” recalls Andrea who made him run out to get a test kit at 11pm. Her period was by then about five days late. “I was not going to be able to sleep if I did not find out.”

Rest was definitely not on their minds when the couple saw the two red lines on the test kit. The idea of being

Hack your health to slow down the ageing process

By LAUREN TAN, Editor In Chief, The Peak magazine

Leading expert in longevity medicine Prof Brian Kennedy helps people live longer, healthier, disease-free lives. But what’s the maximum life expectancy of humans? No one really knows.

The elixir of immortality may be a myth, but a combination of lifestyle habits, dietary and nutraceutical intake and other longevity interventions can lower one’s biological age — “meaning they are likely to stay healthy longer,” says Brian Kennedy, Distinguished Professor of biochemistry and physiology at NUS Yong Yoo Lin School of Medicine and Chief Scientific Director of therapeutics firm Regenosis.

A heavyweight in longevity medicine (or geroscience), the former President and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has committed his career to

Defying death: Japan and Singapore lead Asia’s stem cell research race

By LOUIS RAYMOND, Contributing writer Nikkei Asia

A continental race within a global race? Here’s the byline- “In the world’s fastest-aging societies, regenerative therapies attract the rich and curious.” There’s way too much info to unpack from from this lengthy article from #NikkeiAsia. Bottom line is that #regenerativemedicine, as it relates to #geroscience is thriving Asia. Overcoming the certain stem cell scandals in Korea and Japan, the article declares that field is exploding. Evidence of such growth is Singapore’s #Regenosis that boasts it’s out to “challenge the norms of how illnesses and age-related diseases are viewed and treated, with diagnoses, procedures and therapies based on the latest biotechnologies.” Interesting warnings from professor emeritus at #KyotoU

Regenosis uses cutting-edge Geroscience biotechnology to combat aging

Chua Joel 15 August, 2022

Imagine a world without aging: Graceful bodies embalmed in the flower of youth, bursting with vitality, buoyant with meaning and joy. While this utopian fantasy might seem lifted from the pages of a science fiction novel, it is in fact an increasingly feasible trajectory. According to professor Brian Kennedy, chief scientific officer at Regenosis and director of the Centre for Healthy Longevity at the National University of Singapore (NUS), aging is “modifiable” – a relatively modest term for an otherwise lofty ambition to halt, even reverse, aging.

by Alfonso Pereira 19 Jul 2022

After watching a documentary on ageing, entrepreneur and real estate professional Dato Shaun Lim is not afraid to admit that growing old fills him with uncertainty. However, he did not allow it to get the best of him. In fact, it paved the way for a new business venture: Regenosis, which aims to improve health, even as we age, for a quality life.
