  • Molecular Biologist Nicklas Brendborg Joins NOMIX As Advisor

    We are happy to announce that Molecular Biologist Nicklas Brendborg, University of Copenhagen, has joined NOMIX as Medical Scientific Advisor! Nicklas will support the team in building longevity algorithms used by the BIOCLOCK app, based on CODIS, the Collective Digital Immune System.

    Nicklas Brendborg is a Ph.D. student of molecular biology at the University of Copenhagen and is one of the most promising research talents in the field. He was featured young scientist at the Novo Nordisk International Talent Program and was awarded the Novo Scholarship.

    In his actual bestseller Jellyfish Age Backwards, Nicklas describes nature’s secrets to Longevity, how plants and animals have already unlocked the secrets to immortality, and the lessons they hold for us humans. Although modern humans live longer today than ever before, our understanding of what is possible is limited. Nicklas uses Jellyfish and other animals to reveal the key to immortality which might not be as impossible as we all have thought until yesterday.

    Even if you can’t follow Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin who envisions a 75% chance to see the year 3,000 for someone who is born today, or you happen not to be a 500-year-old Greenland shark, reading the NOMIX blog you probably want to live long while staying young and healthy! Then, you most likely will love Jellyfish Age Backwards, and the fact that Nicklas has joined our longevity team, even more!

    Now, let’s celebrate the fantastic success of Nicklas’ book for a moment and then start working on our healthspans!
