OUR STORY


We are all stakeholders in ageing hence why Biosynthage has been steeped in controversy since its very inception. However, with controversy comes important questions. Some believe that we should not meddle with the human ageing process and others believe that we should think of ageing as a disease in order to start treating it. Biosynthage has really enjoyed exploring the depths of many debates which has caused us to constantly stop and reevaluate the next step forward within our project. We are constantly realising that with every new person we speak to, we uncover depths of new perspectives we never knew existed within in our story.



In the following sections, you can have a glimpse at the decisive factors that drove our project and continue to influence the progress of our novel technologies in the future.



Public Engagement/General Public: Biosynthage wanted to create a project that addresses a current societal need and understand how ageing affects us in later life. Our interactions with the general public involved conducting surveys and talking to people on the streets of London.
