The Saudi royal family is getting in on the anti-aging movement to the tune of $1 billion a year.
The battle against aging is probably one of the oldest, if not the oldest, endeavors that humans have ever set our minds to after our immediate survival—and in a lot of ways, these are the same thing. Every instinct in our body is geared towards making it one more day on this earth, one more season, and it's one that we've made considerable progress in.
That's what Saudi Arabia is trying to find out with a new commitment to invest $1 billion a year into anti-aging research. According to the, the Saudi royal family has created a non-profit called the Hevolution Foundation that will invest in research focused on the biology behind aging and looking for ways to expand the so-called"health span", or the number of good, healthy years in a person's life.
“Our primary goal is to extend the period of healthy lifespan,” Mehmood Khan, a former endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic who was recruited to serve as the foundation's CEO in 2020, said in an interview."There is not a bigger medical problem on the planet than this one.”If you ever find out, patent whatever it is you discovered and retire the richest person in history.
Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York and the originator of the TAME trial, told a London audience in April of this year that Hevolution agreed to fund a substantial part of the trial.
