What if a government agency could fund transformative health research with $200 million budgets and no bureaucratic committees? In this talk, Jean Hebert explores ARPA-H's – a research funding agency – unique mission to accelerate health breakthroughs, from 3D-printed organs to functional eye transplants. He covers how ARPA-H operates differently from traditional government funding through autonomous program managers, why it presents exceptional opportunities for longevity researchers, and how both established scientists and entrepreneurs can engage with this well-funded agency that's aligned with life extension goals.
Jean Hebert is a professor of genetics and neuroscience, and the author of \"Replacing Aging\". He currently serves as a Program Manager at ARPA-H. His personal mission remains unchanged: to beat aging, which he believes is achievable through replacement therapies and transformative approaches to life extension.
