Pharma’s new age of longevity
Description
The concept of healthspan has recently gained new attention in the pharma industry and rightfully so, given the surprisingly large chasm in the U.S. between average years lived (77.5) and average years lived in good health (63.9). Facing a growing demographic of unhealthy seniors, a handful of innovative biotechs are reframing the longevity discussion: Rather than treat the symptoms of aging one disease at a time, what if we could instead focus on the root causes, enabling treatment of multiple chronic diseases simultaneously?
During this podcast, Chief Content Director Karen Langhauser will share a summary of our most recent cover story, discussing the compelling new research and novel genetic medicines that may help close the gap between healthspan and lifespan.
