About me
Greetings! I’m James Utley, PhD.
I wear many unusually shaped hats — find the full picture at drutley.com.
I hold a PhD in Health Science with a multidisciplinary background rooted in the Clinical Laboratory. I am a board-certified Longevity Scientist (ABAAHP) and a Certified Advanced Biotherapies Professional (CABP) Currently, I’m based in Panama City, Panama, serving as CSO for MSC (Stem Cell) Research Center.
I also founded Syndicate Laboratories about 5 years ago now — technically a research company, but we do far more. Basically robust future tech for survival. Check us out at syndicate-labs.io.
Other skills: Longevity Scientist \ [Bio]hacker \ AI Engineer \ Cool Human.
