Mario (MOLEQLAR): Hello Dominik, thank you for taking the time to talk to us despite your busy schedule. To start with, can you tell our readers a little about yourself and your career?
Dr. Dominik Thor: I come from a family of doctors and that's probably why I initially started studying medicine in Vienna. But after a while I changed my mind and studied economics and pharmacy instead, because I always had the dream of starting my own company.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): You are also president of the newly created Geneva College of Longevity Science. Can you tell us a bit about the college and what your responsibilities are there?
Dr. Dominik Thor: Longevity science, the interdisciplinary field of research that deals with scientific methods for extending human health and life span, has developed rapidly over the past 10 years. Although researchers from a wide range of fields such as medicine, biomaterials science, pharmacy, gerontology, psychology and others are making significant contributions, no university has yet dedicated itself to establishing academic training in this field. The Geneva College of Longevity Science (GCLS) was founded to be the first higher education institution to pursue this purposeSince this year, it has been offering the first Master's course in Longevity Science, which is aimed particularly at professionals - doctors, researchers and entrepreneurs who are active in this field.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): You have been part of the MOLEQLAR family as a scientific advisor for some time now. What made you decide to join? Why MOLEQLAR and not another company with a similar focus?
Dr. Dominik Thor: MOLEQLAR has been characterized from the beginning through a scientific approach in the field of nutritional supplements and Longevity out of and stands for highest product qualityIt is no coincidence that the company is run by three young doctors who do not just want to offer conventional nutritional supplements, but want to develop the best possible products. I am delighted to be able to support the company in this process in an advisory capacity.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): What are your tasks as an expert or scientific advisor at MOLEQLAR?
Dr. Dominik Thor: In particular, the topics of 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 are the focus of my job.
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 tell us briefly how that came about and what the idea behind it is?
Dr.Dominik Thor: As I mentioned, I always wanted to start my own company, and Tomorrowlabs was intended to be my entry into entrepreneurship as a small biotech startup. Tomorrowlabs is dedicated to developing new technologies for cellular regeneration and its associated health and aesthetic effects, based on medical knowledge. Our patented HSF technology is able to restore the Nobel Prize-winning HIF-1 alpha signaling pathway in our cells to youthful levels.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): MOLEQLAR and Tomorrowlabs have recently even launched a joint product called the NMN Serum. Tell us from your perspective how the development process went and what the benefits of the serum are?
Dr. Dominik Thor: From my point of view, it made a lot of sense to combine Tomorrowlabs’ expertise in formula development with that of MOLEQLAR as a leading provider of NMNWe know that topical NMN has a significant impact on the energy cycle and supply of our skin cells. Our task in developing the NMN serum was to create a formula that transports NMN directly into the skin cells to achieve its maximum effect. A functioning cell is the basis for radiant, youthful-looking skin.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): With your professional tasks and travel between Vienna, Kitzbühel, Geneva, etc., you are 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 our lifestyle has a significant impact on the aging process. 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 sitting for long periods of time. It takes a lot of discipline to pack your running shoes or go to the hotel gym instead of overdoing it at a business lunch. Taking nutritional supplements with you when travelling is not always easy either. That is why I swear by MOLEQLAR ONE – a combination product that combines many proven longevity supplements in one practical sachet, which have been proven in studies to have positive effects on all 'Hallmarks of Aging' have shown.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): What does the term longevity mean to you and what measures are important to you?
Dr. Dominik Thor: Longevity is often mistakenly associated only with the longest possible lifespan. In fact, it is about improving our quality of life through a variety of preventive measures by reducing the risk of age-related diseases. In this way, we can enjoy our old age, remain physically active, be mentally fit and continue to perform our duties and maintain social contacts.
Mario (MOLEQLAR): And finally: What tips from the longevity area would you give our readers?
Dr. Dominik Thor: I have often experienced that people who are dealing with the topic for the first time are overwhelmed by the many options and recommendations. Small but regular steps are the best way to long-term success. Habits change slowly.No fear of health examinations, a gradually more intensive exercise program, abstaining from one or two sins and the curiosity to continuously educate yourself about new findings regarding supplements and medical methods - this is the right way.
Thank you for your time and continued success!
