Lifespan.io President and co-founder Keith Comito is at the forefront of the fight against aging-related diseases. Comito is harnessing the power of decentralization and blockchain technology to support cutting-edge scientific and technological discoveries in the longevity research space.
Comito’s journey in longevity research began in 2014, when Lifespan.io was founded with the goal of creating an organization that would emulate the success of the cancer research advocates of the 1940s. Comito and his team sought to identify the most credible research and use “old-school” fundraising approaches, such as telethons, to raise funds. Through their efforts, they built a grassroots movement and increased the scientific expertise in the longevity research field.
Realizing the power of sharing verified news and crowdfunding research, Comito and his team created some of the most successful YouTube collaborations to date, with the 2017 series of aging videos gaining 14 million views within days. This overwhelming success demonstrates the large community of people crusading against aging-related diseases, and emphasizes the significant progress that has been made in the longevity research field.
Comito’s work has paved the way for the use of blockchain technology and decentralization in longevity research, with the potential to revolutionize the field. By creating a secure and transparent system of data, blockchain technology allows for the tracking of information and resources, as well as the sharing of verified news and crowdfunding of research. This technology has the potential to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of longevity research, and could be fundamental in the fight against aging-related diseases.
Through his efforts in the longevity research field, Keith Comito has demonstrated the immense potential of blockchain technology and decentralization. His success in building a large community of people crusading against aging-related diseases serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made in the field, and the potential for further breakthroughs in the future.
