Calico

Combating aging and associated diseases. An Alphabet (Google) subsidiary.

Founded in 2013 by Bill Maris.

Calico is a research and development company whose mission is to harness advanced technologies to increase our understanding of the biology that controls lifespan. We will use that knowledge to devise interventions that enable people to lead longer and healthier lives. Executing on this mission will require an unprecedented level of interdisciplinary effort and a long-term focus for which funding is already in place.

Chief scientist, David Botstein, retired late 2022.
