“We’re seeing the same pattern that preceded the biotech boom of the 2010s. The science has matured to the point where clinical translation is feasible.” — Partner at Andreessen Horowitz
Market Outlook
Analysts project continued growth in the sector, with particular interest in:
- Senolytics and senomorphics
