Egle’s Nexus
Newsletter from our Co-Founder, Egle Pavyde, PhD
Hi there!
I am Egle Pavyde, the CEO and Co-Founder of Longeverse! I am a Pharmacist by training and PhD in regenerative medicine. For the past 10 years I’ve been working in clinical research, thus I understand the importance of data coming from clinical trials, while making health-related decisions.
I am passionate about longevity and healthspan. In this Nexus Newsletter I am sharing my knowledge in the field, emerging data from clinical research, as well as practical tips how to live longer, healthier life. I try to translate science into human language and provide you with all scientific resources that I use, in case you want to dig deeper on certain topics.
Enjoy the read and share your feedback!
XOXO,
Egle
