Interview with Dr. Dominik Thor - Scientific Advisor of MOLEQLAR
Dr. Dominik Thor studied pharmacy and holds a doctorate in economics. Together with Dr. Dominik Duscher, he founded the skin care company Tomorrowlabs. He is also President and co-founder of the Geneva College of Longevity Science (GCLS) - a Swiss institute for longevity medicine. With his scientific background, he supports the MOLEQLAR team as Scientific Advisor.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): Hello Dominik, thank you very much for taking the time for this interview despite your busy schedule. Can you start by telling our readers something about yourself and your career?
Dr. Dominik Thor: I come from a family of doctors, which is probably why I started studying medicine in Vienna. But after a while, I changed my mind and studied economics and pharmacy instead, as I had always dreamed of starting my own business.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): You are also president of the newly created Geneva College of Longevity Science. Can you tell us something about the college and what your responsibilities are there?
Dr. Dominik Thor: Longevity science, the interdisciplinary field of research that deals with scientific methods to extend the human health and life span, has developed rapidly over the past 10 years. Although researchers from a wide variety of fields such as medicine, biomaterial sciences, pharmacy, gerontology, psychology and others have made significant contributions, no university has yet dedicated itself to establishing an academic education in this field.The Geneva College of Longevity Science ( GCLS) was founded to be the first higher education institution to pursue this purpose. Since this year, it has been offering the first Master's course in Longevity Science, which is aimed in particular at professionals - doctors, researchers and entrepreneurs who are active in this field.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): You've been part of the MOLEQLAR family as a scientific advisor for some time now. What was the deciding factor for you to join back then? Why MOLEQLAR and not another company with a similar focus?
Dr. Dominik Thor: MOLEQLAR has always been characterizedby a scientific approach to nutritional supplements andlongevity and stands for highest product quality . It's no coincidence that the company is backed by three young doctors who don't just want to offer conventional dietary supplements, but want to develop the best possible products. I am delighted to be able to support the company in an advisory capacity.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): What are some of your tasks as an expert or scientific advisor at MOLEQLAR?
Dr. Dominik Thor : My role focuses in particular on product development and scientific validation as well as the creation of new academic collaborations and exciting projects with partners that advance longevity science and offer MOLEQLAR customers special added value.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): In addition to your role as President of the Geneva College of Longevity Science, you also founded your own company, Tomorrowlabs, a few years ago. Would you like to briefly tell us how this came about and what the idea behind it is?
Dr. Dominik Thor : As I mentioned before, I always wanted to start my own company and Tomorrowlabs was to be my entry into entrepreneurship as a small biotech start-up. Tomorrowlabs is dedicated to developing new technologies for cellular regeneration and the associated health and aesthetic effects based on medical findings.Our patented HSF technology is able to restore the Nobel Prize-winning HIF-1 alpha signaling pathway in our cells to a youthful level.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): MOLEQLAR and Tomorrowlabs have recently even launched a joint product with the NMN serum. Tell us from your point of view how the development process went and what the advantages of the serum are?
Dr. Dominik Thor: In my view, it made a lot of sense to combine Tomorrowlabs' expertise in formula development with that of MOLEQLAR as a leading supplier ofNMN . We know that topical NMN has a significant impact on the energy cycle and nourishment of our skin cells. Our task in developing the NMN serum was to create a formula that transports NMN directly into the skin cells for maximum effect. A functional cell is the basis for radiant, youthful-looking skin.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): With your professional duties and traveling between Vienna, Kitzbühel, Geneva and the like, you're always very busy in your everyday life. How do you manage to stick to certain longevity principles?
Dr. Dominik Thor : Longevity research shows us that we have a considerable influence on the ageing process through our lifestyle. As you have already mentioned, frequent business trips are unfortunately not a good basis for this and often consist of fast food, little sleep and long periods of sitting. It takes a lot of discipline to pack your running shoes or go to the hotel gym instead of going overboard at a business lunch. It's also not always easy to take food supplements with you when traveling. That's why I swear byMOLEQLAR ONE - a combination supplement that combines many proven longevity supplements in one convenient sachet, which have been shown in studies to have positive effects on all ' Hallmarks of Aging'.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): What does the term longevity mean to you and what measures are important to you
Dr. Dominik Thor : Longevity is often wrongly associated only with living as long as possible. In fact, it is about increasing our quality of life by reducing the risk of age-related diseases through a variety of preventive measures. This allows us to enjoy our old age, remain active in sports, be mentally fit and continue to perform our tasks and maintain social contacts.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): And finally: What longevity tips would you pass on to our readers?
Dr. Dominik Thor: I have often seen people who are dealing with the topic for the first time being overwhelmed by the many options and recommendations. Small but regular steps are the best way to achieve long-term success. Habits only change slowly. No fear of health examinations, a gradually more intensive sports program, giving up one or two sins and the curiosity to continuously educate yourself about new findings on supplements and medical methods - that's the right way to go.
Thank you for your time and good luck!
