 Become a Pioneer

Why study Longevity Science?

Longevity science is a rapidly advancing interdisciplinary field focused on understanding, preventing, and reversing the biological processes of aging. It aims not only to delay or cure age-related diseases but also to extend healthspan—the period of life spent in good health—by targeting the biological age of individuals. By addressing the cellular and molecular damage that accumulates with age, longevity science improves overall quality of life and informs the development of healthy longevity systems. It intersects with fields such as geroscience, regenerative medicine, AI-driven diagnostics, epigenetics, functional medicine, and aging policy, making it increasingly relevant for individuals, institutions, and societies worldwide.
