In September 2015, CEO [[Liz Parrish]] flew to Colombia to receive two experimental gene therapies. One was a myostatin inhibitor, a drug that is being tested as a treatment for muscle loss. The other was a telomerase [[gene therapy]], the drug that BioViva claims has reversed her cells' biological age, by lengthening parts of her genetic material called [[telomere]]s.<ref name="guardian">[https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jul/24/elizabeth-parrish-gene-therapy-ageing Can this woman cure ageing with gene therapy?]</ref>
