How a Lock of Hair can Unlock a Longer, Healthier Life

Everyone wants to look young for as long as possible. But what if you could banish wrinkles for 10 years at a time, instead of needing injections every few months? According to Acorn Biolabs founder, Dr. Drew Taylor, in the next few years, you’ll be able to use your own cells to reverse aging and sun damage to your skin – and your hair follicles are the key!

He believes that cryogenic preservation of our cells could unlock the potential for regenerative treatments from hair regrowth to skin rejuvenation, injury recovery, and even disease treatment. We speak to the entrepreneur and regenerative medicine pioneer about:

• His beginnings as a professional baseball player with the Toronto Bluejays while simultaneously earning a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto.
• Acorn Biolabs: how they are trying to help more people access the future of regenerative medicine by providing affordable, accessible, and non-invasive cell banking.
• The optimal age to bank cells
• Potential for these treatments in the beauty and medical space - from improving collagen to potentially 3D printing organs.
• The non-invasive procedure to collect hair follicles for cell banking
