Development can move faster.

We are all
'patients-in-waiting'

As an entrepreneur becoming a cancer survivor was a reality check. Health is the real wealth without which not much else matters. Minimizing the time to finding a solution to a major health challenge is all someone experiencing one cares about.

Unfortunately, those developing solutions to health challenges are often don't need, or even often want, their own products or services and, without driver, naturally things take longer than they would if those in need were in charge.

I founded OpenCures to empower individuals to use the best science available to maintain and restore their health while at the same time creating a health technology development ecosystem that can provide solutions in the shortest possible period of time, giving all of us more healthy time to spend with those we love.

Waiting for others to do it for us isn't working.

More about Kevin Perrott
Plus

Kevin Perrott is Founder of OpenCures. He has been studying aging for three decades and contributing to the longevity community through helping create multiple non- and for-profit entities. Kevin is a successful entrepreneur as owner of the largest motorcycle and snowmobile dealership in Canada, Riverside Honda and Skidoo Sales in Saint Albert, Alberta.

He became a cancer survivor, and resolved to turn his efforts towards solving cancer and other age-related diseases by accelerating aging research itself.  

In 2003, Kevin helped form the Methuselah Foundation and create the Methuselah Mouse Prize, a competitive prize for advances in longevity science. This was followed with a focus on research when he became a co-founder of SENS Research Foundation which focused on eliminating the accumulative cellular damage associated with age-related degeneration. During this period he obtained his PhD from the University of Alberta in the Biomedical Sciences for work in the Campisi Lab at the Buck Institute studying cellular senescence. During that time he co-founded Oisin Biotechnologies and assisted multiple non- and for-profits involved in research, and government policy surrounding longevity. Understanding the critical nature of data for AI-enhanced longevity technology discovery, Kevin formed OpenCures to help individuals perform self-directed research, generate data, and focus the value of that data on the health solutions they are interested in.

Our Dual Legal Structure:
Combining Strengths for Greater Impact.

OpenCures operates through a hybrid legal framework that merges the strengths of both a for-benefit company and a non-profit organization. This dual approach enables us to leverage the advantages of each model, ensuring we efficiently pursue and achieve our mission.

Our Non-Profit entity focuses on accelerating the intervention development cycle. It actively fills essential gaps, whether in-house or through expanding our collaborative network. This component of our organization is dedicated to tasks that may not be directly profitable but are crucial for speeding up research and development processes.

Support our non-profit efforts to fast-track research and development in longevity science.

The For-Benefit side of OpenCures handles aspects of the cycle that have commercial viability and the potential for self-sustainability. This includes developing and scaling profitable ventures like biobanking services, software solutions for health professionals, researchers, and laboratories, as well as offering white-label products. Any profits generated beyond operational needs are reinvested into the non-profit to further support our mission.
