Hi, I’m Martin

I work to industrialize longevity, turning aging research from a scattered academic field into a real industry that reliably produces medicines to extend healthy life.

I do this through two organizations, a biotech with a scalable discovery engine and a non-profit building field infrastructure for the engine. At Gordian Biotechnology, where I’m cofounder and CSO, we run the production engine, testing hundreds of therapeutics inside living animals at once so we can find treatments for diseases of aging at industrial scale. At Norn Group, where I’m founder and president, we build the ecosystem the field needs by funding bold science, bringing in talent, and mapping where progress gets stuck.

Before this I was an academic studying the biology of aging, including mitochondrial function, NAD metabolism, DNA-damage signaling, and other stress responses.
