Speaker Profile
Ph.D., Co-Founder & CSO, Gordian Biotechnology
Biography
Martin Borch Jensen builds systems to accelerate progress in longevity. At Gordian Biotechnology, he developed the first in vivo drug discovery platform using pooled genetic screening in patient-relevant animals, scaling testing 100x while generating systematic data on what actually works in complex biological systems. Through Norn Group, he's mobilized over $34 million in rapid research funding to bring dozens of labs into longevity, and created infrastructure for high-risk ideas that fall outside traditional funding mechanisms. His work spans new technologies, talent development, to redesigning how the field coordinates and validates progress. These efforts aim at moving longevity research from isolated breakthroughs toward industrial-scale systems with reliable measurements, focus on bottlenecks, and enabling throughput that matches the problem's urgency.
