Are We Approaching a Gene Therapy Era? Meet the World's Most Genetically Modified Woman
Liz Parrish's Journey to Redefine Aging and Healthcare through Cutting-Edge Gene Therapies
Meet Liz Parrish, the founder and CEO of BioViva Science, a company at the forefront of developing cutting-edge gene therapies to combat biological aging.
Driven by a personal mission to revolutionize healthcare, Liz courageously became the first person to undergo experimental gene therapies, to demonstrate their safety and efficacy, and pave the way for quicker regulatory approvals, ensuring more patients can access life-changing treatments sooner.
She has received gene therapies targeting important processes like muscle mass, telomeres, and mitochondria.
- Follistatin Therapy increased her muscle size, uplifting her metabolic health.
- Telomerase Therapy lengthened her telomeres to those of a healthy 25-year-old.
- Klotho improved her inflammation and blood sugar markers.
- PGC-1α No individual effects were mentioned, but it aims to reduce oxidative stress and boost mitochondria for increased energy in cells
The good news
No Adverse Effects: Remarkably, none of the therapies has led to any negative side effects until now.
Potential Impact: By addressing aging at the genetic level, these therapies hold promise in treating a spectrum of age-related diseases and conditions, offering hope for a healthier and more vibrant future.
While the field of genetic interventions is still evolving, the strides made by pioneers like Liz Parrish pave the way for a new era in personalized genetic interventions.
