Biography
Martin Jensen works to make aging a good thing. Our bodies have the capacity for rejuvenation, but we havent yet mastered the biology that makes this happen. Biology is full of feedback loops that cause non-linear responses, which makes it difficult to go from experimental observations to reliably producing specific physiological outcomes.Dr. Jensen's focus is on technological and organizational progress towards solving biological problems faster than they arise. This involves developing technologies to interrogate the full network of aging processes inside living organisms, and finding ways to predict future health from todays measurements.Previously, Dr Jensen was an academic working on a range of cellular mechanisms involved in aging: mitochondrial function, NAD metabolism, DNA damage signaling and other stress responses.
