About Us

Defeating death and postponing aging are dreams of mankind since the dawn of civilization. But it is just now that, for the first time in human history, we can talk about immortality on scientific grounds. iLabs are here to meet the challenge, both the opportunity and the risk.

We founded iLabs because we believe that a longer life is not just attainable, but it is desirable. We do not believe that any possible future scenario will do the job: even if science and technology will lead us to the so-called “Singularity”, this will not guarantee that our lives will be free from ethical, aesthetical or social flaws.

What we do believe, instead, is that in some kind of future the extension of our life expectancy to hundreds of years will make all of us better off. Building this kind of future requires a life in which we are constantly aware of ethical, esthetical, and social implications of our choices. What we did in the last thirty years, what we do now, what we are going to do tomorrow has always been, is, and will be inspired and heavily constrained by our perspective on values, beauty and social fairness.

Even if we have not yet accomplish the task – actually, we are far from it – , in these years iLabs ideas, images and dreams opened up exciting doors to unexplored paths of human knowledge and to significant real-life applications.

New ideas, images and dreams are needed to help us prolonging life indefinitely and create a future that it is worth our passion and our efforts.
