An early conviction.
A long view.

199 began with a conviction: partial reprogramming could open a new chapter in how we approach aging and disease.

Founded by Boris Djordjevic, we carry that conviction into our work today: advancing the science toward human application and democratising access to reprogramming and gene therapies.

We are a small team built for a long pursuit. Our next programmes are taking shape in stealth, connecting pioneering research with the work of bringing it to people.
