Rejuvenate Bio develops AAV gene therapies aimed at the underlying biology of aging rather than the symptoms of individual age-related diseases. The company originated from George Church's lab at Harvard and works on cardiac, metabolic and renal indications. It pursues a dual-species strategy, developing therapies for companion animals — dogs with heart disease, osteoarthritis and cancer — alongside a human program. Revenue, safety data and partner funding from the animal health path are intended to carry the platform into human medicine.
What sets it apart
Targets the shared root drivers of aging so a single one-time gene therapy can address multiple cardiac, metabolic and renal conditions at once, and de-risks the platform commercially through the faster animal-health regulatory path before human trials.
