The Lifespan Research Institute has established the Public Longevity Group to bridge the cultural gap in aging science. Through a $100,000 crowdfunding effort, PLG will build a real-time cultural intelligence system that tracks sentiment, tests advocacy messages, and strengthens public acceptance of longevity biotechnology.

Key points

• Launch of a data-driven cultural intelligence system by PLG to measure public sentiment on aging therapies.
• $100,000 crowdfunding campaign to develop real-time narrative-testing and sentiment-tracking tools.
• Open-access analytics platform for advocates and policymakers to strengthen support for longevity science.

Why it matters: This initiative accelerates life-extending therapies by systematically building public trust, overcoming cultural resistance to novel longevity biotechnologies.

Lifespan Research Institute launches the Lifespan Alliance, uniting mission-driven sponsors—AgingBiotech.info, Immortal Dragons, Rejuve.bio, Ora Biomedical, and Quadrascope—to integrate scientific research and advocacy. New leadership under Keith Comito and Dr. Oliver Medvedik, plus a revitalized Scientific Advisory Board, aims to tackle aging research bottlenecks efficiently.

Key points

• Collaborative ecosystem integrates biotech sponsors (AgingBiotech.info, Immortal Dragons, Rejuve.bio, Ora Biomedical, Quadrascope) to advance aging research.
• Leadership team—CEO Keith Comito and CSO Dr. Oliver Medvedik—drives strategic and scientific direction.
• Scientific Advisory Board with Drs. Felipe Sierra, Irina Conboy, and Matt Kaeberlein guides translational research priorities.

Why it matters: This alliance model accelerates aging research translation by uniting expertise, streamlining innovation pipelines, and overcoming key bottlenecks in longevity therapeutics.
