This is just the kind of thing that I would like to see follow on from the
Biotech Futures (Extro 4) conference. It fits nicely into the info portal
plan. It would take some funding to get going, but ExI does intend to
pursue post-conference funding so that ideas, information, and activity
generated by the event continue after those two days. A center for
information on what LE researchers are doing and where would be an obvious
component for the part of the portal dedicated to life extension, and a
prime candidate for starting off the portal since the conference will focus
on this area, along with genetic engineering.
