Telomir Pharmaceuticals’ Anti-Aging Expert and NYT Bestselling Author Michael F. Roizen, MD, to Present Promising Pre-Clinical Data for Age-Reversal Drug Telomir-1 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2024
02 April 2024 - 11:30PM
Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(Nasdaq:TELO) (“Telomir” or the “Company”), a
pre-clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of Telomir-1 as the first novel
small molecule to lengthen the DNA’s protective telomere caps in
order to potentially address age-related conditions, today
announced that anti-aging expert and New York Times bestselling
author Michael F. Roizen, MD, will present promising pre-clinical
research on Telomir-1 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC,
on April 15, 2024. Dr. Roizen serves as Telomir’s special advisor
on age reversal.
Telomir’s pre-clinical research supports its
belief that enlongating telomeres, which are repetitive DNA
sequences at the end of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from
becoming frayed or tangled, could stimulate stem cell renewal and
provide a treatment for age-related conditions like
osteoarthritis.
The search for treatments to combat the diseases
of aging has increasingly become the focus of many medical
professionals and, more recently, society in general. In a March
20, 2024, article titled “Why Do We Age?”, The New York Times
reported, “as we age, telomere shortening becomes a problem,
particularly in stem cells, which the body uses to replenish skin,
blood and other tissue.” Telomir believes that its lead development
product, Telomir-1, may elongate telomeres which could reverse
age-related conditions.
“Our event at the National Press Club will
provide us with an opportunity to share Telomir-1’s potential with
the public on a national stage,” stated Chris Chapman, MD,
co-founder, chairman, chief executive officer and president of
Telomir Pharmaceuticals. “As part of the event, we will showcase
our pre-clinical data which we believe demonstrates that Telomir-1
may potentially treat age-related conditions and prolong human
life.”
“Having recently shared our pre-clinical results
with our peers at several longevity conferences, we believe that
the opportunity to share our data with the public at this juncture
is very important,” said Dr. Roizen. “Telomir-1’s results thus far
have been extremely encouraging and, by presenting the data at this
event, we are confident that the findings will be of interest to
the entire longevity community. As Telomir continues to uncover new
and promising data through our pre-clinical work, we remain
committed to sharing our data publicly. I believe that the work
that Telomir is undertaking to develop and commercialize Telomir-1
may finally provide an answer to the fight against diseases of
aging.”

About Telomir Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.
Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:TELO) is a
pre-clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of Telomir-1 as the first novel
small molecule to lengthen the DNA’s protective telomere caps in
order to potentially reverse age-related conditions. Telomeres are
the protective end caps of a chromosome made up of DNA sequences
and proteins. As humans age, telomeres shorten, with metal
reactivity accelerating the process, which presents us with an
increased chance of contracting a number of degenerative and
age-related diseases. Telomir’s goal is to develop and
commercialize Telomir-1 (which is proposed to be dosed orally) for
hemochromatosis (iron overload) and ultimately post-chemotherapy
recovery and a broader range of other age-related inflammatory
conditions such as osteoarthritis.
The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute
(Sweden) awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009
for the discovery of how chromosones are protected by telomeres and
the enzyme telomerase.
