The lab is hiring top scientists from all over the world by offering them $1 million annual salaries and freehand in research.
Who has been on-boarded so far?
Shinya Yamanaka, who shared a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2021 for the discovery of reprogramming will serve on the company’s scientific advisory board.
Spanish biologist Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte, who earlier lead a team that implanted human cells into monkey embryos and predicted that humans could live for another 50 years, has also reportedly joined the company.
