Timeless Biosciences is built on deep mechanistic expertise at the intersection of microbiome science, systems biology, and oncology supportive care with a founding vision to give patients a refund on lost time.
Nita Jain is the founder and CEO of Timeless Biosciences, where she leads scientific strategy and pipeline development for TB-001, the company's lead program targeting F. nucleatum-induced chemoresistance in colorectal cancer, with chemo-induced GI toxicity as a secondary indication.
Her research background spans microbiome science, systems biology, and complex chronic illness, with a focus on the mechanisms by which microbial metabolites regulate mucosal immunity, barrier integrity, and xenobiotic metabolism.
She holds clinical trial advisory roles on the NIH RECOVER Initiative and Emory's REVERSE-LC study, and she is a 2025 NIA Start-Up Challenge Finalist. Her approach to drug development is mechanistically rigorous and systems-informed, examining how spatiotemporal and environmental factors shape molecular and metabolic disease pathology.
Dr. DePaulo is a microbiome scientist with deep expertise in the gut-immune axis and its therapeutic implications. He served as Founding Director of the Center for Microbiome Sciences & Therapeutics at the University of Washington, and as Chief Scientific Officer of Tend Health. He brings translational microbiome drug development experience directly to the TB-001 scientific program.
Dr. Carter is a hematologist-oncologist and biotech founder. He is co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Otter Immuno-Oncology, and previously co-founded Nora Therapeutics. His clinical experience in blood cancers and solid tumors, combined with a track record in early-stage company building, informs Timeless Biosciences' approach to endpoint design and development strategy.
We are assembling a scientific advisory board of experts in GI oncology, microbiome science, clinical pharmacology, and drug development. Advisors will play an active role in shaping scientific and clinical strategy.
