## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2018 by co-founders John Ramunas and Glenn Markov, Rejuvenation Technologies Inc. is a developer of mRNA therapeutic approaches to prolong lifespan by improving organ function, reversing fibrosis, reducing inflammation, and diminishing biomarkers of ageing. In September 2023, Rejuvenation Technologies Inc. raised USD 4.6 million in grant funding from unspecified investors. The round was part of a larger USD 15.2 million seed and grant funding.

RTI's primary product is TERT mRNA, a nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) that allows the rapid extension of telomeres, effectively reversing years of telomere shortening in just hours. The process does not immortalize cells, ensuring their safety by rejuvenating old cells, preserving organ function, and potentially extending human lifespans. Additionally, RTI offers TeloAid, a research-use version of TERT mRNA, to accelerate rejuvenation research in other laboratories. The company’s pipeline projects are RTI-LNG1 for lungs, RTI-LIV for liver and RTI-IMM for immune system.

The company plans to use the September 2023 funding to support the expansion of its business reach, invest in product research and development, and increase the number of its workforce to ramp up its productivity.
