Summary:

The global population aged 65 and older is projected to double by 2050. The global demographic shift towards an older population is driving rapid advancements in healthcare.

Key topics we will discuss:

GLP-1 treatments, like Ozempic and Mounjaro, have become household names. Their success in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity may pave the way for applications in age-related illnesses.
Growing healthcare needs will require an expanded medical toolkit. 2023 saw breakthroughs in genomic medicines, including gene therapy and editing. New manufacturing standards could reduce production costs by up to 95%, improving accessibility.
