Shift Bioscience

Shift Bioscience is unlocking safe rejuvenation with cell simulations. Cellular reprogramming is a powerful biological pathway that can reverse ageing and age-driven diseases in the dish but is not yet safe for clinical use. Our team based in Cambridge UK has pioneered the first high throughput, high accuracy ageing biomarker, which can be leveraged in AI-based cell simulations to identify drug targets for safe rejuvenation.
