[MAIL] The founder and billionaire behind Coinbase, an American cryptocurrency company, is now looking to cure aging and is using machine learning to do so.Brian Armstrong recently announced his new 'epigenetic reprogramming' company, called NewLimit, which aims to make therapies that reverse the aging process.
According to a press release, NewLimit will 'start by deeply interrogating epigenetic drivers of aging and developing products that can regenerate tissues to treat specific patient populations.'
Armstrong plans to employ machine learning to determine what cell features change as we age in order to create 'therapies that could slow, halt, or reverse this process.'
However, NewLimit is still in the concept stage, but Armstrong says the company's founders, which includes Stanford PhD Blake Byers, have committed $105 million to getting it off the ground.
