Careers in Discovery

This week on Careers in Discovery, we’re joined by Rodrigo Santos, CTO of clock.bio, a company pushing the boundaries of cellular rejuvenation to tackle age-related diseases. Rodrigo shares the fascinating work happening at clock.bio, including their hypothesis-free approach to uncovering rejuvenation factors and the creation of their “Atlas of Rejuvenation Factors.”

We also got to hear about Rodrigo’s incredible journey - from growing up in a small farming village in Portugal to leading cutting-edge biotech companies - all driven by his passion for cellular plasticity and the transformative potential of Yamanaka factors. Along the way, he reflects on the lessons he’s learned, balancing science and business, and why emphasis on execution is key.

Join us as we explore the science of rejuvenation, the innovation behind it, and the mindset needed to succeed in this ever-evolving field.
