Reconstructing the Body: Can Biological Replacement Reverse Aging and Extend Lifespan?

Despite major advances in the biology of aging, there are still no interventions that clearly slow or reverse aging in humans. In contrast, modern medicine already depends on replacement to restore lost function, from artificial joints and cardiac devices to organ transplants and stem cell therapies. This session examines how a similar framework could be applied to aging: rather than repairing deteriorated cells and tissues, scientists and companies are exploring ways to replace them with newly generated, biologically young equivalents. The discussion will highlight emerging capabilities in engineered cell sources, scalable tissue fabrication, and programmable biology (instead of "integration") strategies that are redefining what can be rebuilt and replaced. New approaches are beginning to address long-standing challenges such as age-related signaling environments, vascularization, and even circuit compatibility in parts of the brain. Together, these advances point toward a future where rejuvenation is achieved through deliberate biological reconstruction. The session asks: How far can replacement take us, and could rebuilding youthful parts become a central path to extending healthy lifespan?

SynBioBeta is where the people building with biology meet the people funding, buying, and partnering with them. If you're raising capital, scouting the next wave of AIxBIO companies, or looking for your next technology partner - the people you need are here for three days.

The startups on stage this year are building programmable RNA medicines, virtual cell models, AI-designed enzymes, and proteins that replace sugar - alongside GSK, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, J&J, Mars, Apple, Google, NVIDIA, Unilever, and P&G.

Watching where the partnerships form and which technologies the biggest players are actually evaluating is something you can't get from a report or a webinar. And our 1:1 Partnering App lets you book meetings before you arrive.

“SynBioBeta is a who’s who of AI and biology.
This is where the future is being built, so don't miss it”

Eric Schmidt

Former CEO

"For every single fund at Boom Capital, one of our best companies has come directly from SynBioBeta. I met Mammoth Bio at SynBioBeta, and I met Nabla Bio at SynBioBeta."

Celestine Schnugg

Founder

"Nabla was accelerated into existence because of SynBioBeta. I met Seth Bannon from 50 Years, Cee Cee Schnugg from Boom Capital, and others from Y Combinator there, and those same people seeded Nabla. The vibe, leverage, and energy at SynBioBeta are unreal."

Surge Biswas

Founder

"Our Series A came together because of a little bit of SynBioBeta magic. I’ve been attending for a decade and it’s been inspiring to watch the field evolve from a lot of hopes and dreams to real products and applications."

Jacob Glanville

Founder & CEO

"I met Algen at SynBioBeta and later invested in the company. It’s exactly the kind of connection that makes the community so valuable."

Bill Tai

Co-founder

"At SynBioBeta I met the team at Biomatter, an AI-driven enzyme design company. The environment made it easy to start a real conversation. That conversation turned into a collaboration to improve one of our enzymes. We're now exploring entirely new performance possibilities together."

Luis Cascao-Pereira

Head of Digital Biology

"Every time I attend SynBioBeta, I walk away with something transformative – a new investor, a fantastic hire, or an idea that changes how we work. It’s a community unlike any other."
