LongX Origins
Longevity Xplorer (LongX) was formed in response to one core question: “How do I meaningfully contribute to Longevity?” As emerging professionals in an undefined field, our early challenges drove our mission to lower the barrier of entry today. Regardless of location, education, or age, we believe that with the right guidance and resources, everyone has the capacity to bring value to the field.
Today, LongX ties together its resources and people to accelerate the field’s progress through interdisciplinarity and open doors for potential contributors. Changing the trajectory of human health calls for contributions from professionals across a wide range of disciplines, beyond science. Longevity transcends borders, and our community is a byproduct of its efforts.
Welcome to LongX.
