Chris Patil

Chris Patil is Vice President of Media at BioAge, a clinical-stage biotech company developing therapies to extend healthy lifespan by targeting the mechanisms of aging. At BioAge, he leads public relations, drives external communications, and produces the Translating Aging podcast. Chris cultivated his deep knowledge of aging biology over two decades as a researcher at UCSF, UC-Berkeley, the Buck Institute, and the Broad Institute. Following his research career, he spent ten years as a scientific editor, helping scientists worldwide communicate their discoveries with clarity and impact.

His passion is applying his unique combination of scientific rigor and communications skills to craft compelling narratives about the potential of longevity science to transform human health. He holds a PhD in Biochemistry from UCSF and a BS in Biological Sciences from Stanford.

Chris Patil is a VP of Media with two decades in aging biology research, now applying that scientific rigor to AI-augmented communications at a clinical-stage biotech.

He builds research-grade AI workflows—compressing hours of conference abstract work into minutes while improving quality enough to shift executive feedback. His verification protocols are sophisticated: multi-layered fact-checking, context hygiene practices, and proactive prompt engineering that prevents errors rather than just catching them. He's already teaching teammates and driving adoption.

These capabilities position him to solve a rare problem: making complex longevity science compelling without sacrificing accuracy. A PhD biochemist who became a scientific editor who now produces podcasts and crafts CEO narratives—his full profile reveals why that unusual path matters.
