Did Peter Theil fund this research?



Not sure who's funding what

Most recent one I saw is this one that I think is funded by the Norwegian government

Then there's startups like Alkahest https://www.alkahest.com/pipeline/akst-grf6019/

Clinical trials of sorts has been going on since at least 2017 https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2017.22930


It was a joke as Peter Theil has been jokingly called a vampire because he gets blood transfusions from young people in an effort to maintain his youth.

That being said, thanks for the links. I read them all.

Here is the results of the Phase II from Alkahest. Not a game changer thus far. https://www.alzforum.org/therapeutics/grf6019
