A community of rational-minded people, acting in favor of radical life extension.
What's Open Longevity?
We are a community of rationally-minded people. We rather prefer life over death, especially young and healthy life. We are against aging and support using a scientific approach to fight it.

Aging is complicated
But we want to figure it out during our lifetime.
We are looking for solutions in the scientific and technical spheres: biology, medicine, bioinformatics. From healthy lifestyles with proven efficacy and reviews of what science already knows, to the launch of new research. But that's not all.
We consider the task of finding a cure for old age the most important one. It is a scientific task, and the majority of our effort is being applied in this field. But we have to be honest with ourselves: the research and development in anti-aging lack the needed scale and pace. That's why we are also in constant search of better social and organizational solutions.
Extracting structured knowledge from scientific papers
Compare the results of thousands of studies based on the parameters you need, create a database, and train machine learning models. Our goal is to make it easier for you to make decisions about experiments and investments, to enable you to keep abreast of the latest research without wasting time analyzing a massive number of articles.

Jason helps to facilitate growth of Open Longevity by looking for potential partners and ways to scale our vision. He helps us with his writing ability, his knack for forming partnerships, and his ability to bring people together behind a common goal.
Azur lives in Canada, supports the Longevity movement and helps us edit translations of important texts. Google translator works wonders, but the help of a native speaker is priceless!
With the help of Irina, we launched pilot studies at our first Longevity School in Montenegro. There would be no school and longevity city without her help.
