Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has invested $3 billion in an anti-aging startup called Alto Labs. This was reported by The Sunday Times on January 20.
It is noted that one of the first participants in the project was the former chief scientist of the British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline Hal Barron. Nobel laureates Shinya Yamanaka and Jennifer Doudna will also take part in the project.
On the way to the result, scientists plan to study the process of reprogramming cells – their return to the stem state.
It is too early to guarantee the success of the project, but it is expected that researchers will be able to make new discoveries in the field of anti-aging, the publication adds.
In November 2020, it was reported that Jeff Bezos will allocate $791 million to save the planet through the creation of environmental innovations. The money was planned for 16 organizations, namely the world’s foundations and institutions.
In February of that year, Jeff Bezos announced the launch of the Bezos Earth Fund to fight climate change with an investment of $10 billion in seed money.
Earlier in January, Amazon Corporation announced that it would invest $1 billion to develop small and medium-sized businesses in India in the online commerce market.
