Engineering Brain Tissue to Replace and Reverse Age-Related Damage

Jean Herbert, founder and CSO of BE Therapeutics, an early-stage biotech startup developing technology to engineer functional brain and spinal cord tissue, discusses the revolutionary potential of tissue and organ replacement in the fight against aging. Highlighting key advantages, Herbert explains that this approach circumvents the need to understand the myriad issues arising as we age and eliminates reliance on biomarkers. Herbert also outlines the economic benefits and scientific progress, touching on successful integrations of new neurons into adult brains and the feasibility of large-scale tissue replacements.
Created by Protocol Labs and co-curated by Foresight Institute, LabWeek Field Building gathered leading individuals and teams from frontier science to drive progress. The weeklong conference took place at Edge Esmeralda, a pop-up event city in Healdsburg, CA, from June 10-16, 2024. For more info on LabWeek Field Building, go to www.labweek.io....
