Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and billionaire PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel have invested in a company whose mission is to "extend people's lives by fighting aging."
According to foreign media, Altos Labs is a research-based company founded earlier this year that is hiring scientists with offers of $1 million in annual salaries, according to the MIT Tech Review.
Citing people "informed of the company," MIT Tech Review reported that Altos Labs has disclosed that Bezos was among its investors.
Bezos has funded anti-aging research before, in 2018 he invested in Unity Technologies, a biotech company whose goal is to make anti-aging therapies.
MIT Tech Review reported that Altos Labs would focus primarily on a technology called reprogramming, which works by adding proteins to a cell that essentially instruct it to return to a stem cell-like state.
