The M Prize for anti-aging research has reached the $1,000,000 mark in pledges, with William Haseltine, founder of Human Genome Sciences, taking it over the line. "I am delighted that my decision to join the Three Hundred has pushed the prize fund over its first one million dollars, which I trust is only the first of many millions. There's nothing to compare with this effort, and it has already contributed significantly to the awareness that regenerative medicine is a near term reality, not an IF. ... Encouraging researchers to compete for the most dramatic advances in the science of slowing, even reversing aging, is a revolutionary new model that is making its mark." Congratulations to all involved, and many thanks to the numerous other donors and sponsors!
