Official welcome to our second cohort of the Xplore Program fellows!
Coming from 5 continents and spanning a wide range of backgrounds, these students and young professionals onboard a 3-month journey into the longevity biotech space starting today.
See who they are below 👇
Kaitlyn Jin is a rising junior at Penn studying bioengineering and systems engineering. She is involved in neurodegenerative disease research and is interested in the biology of aging and translating longevity discoveries into practical applications that improve human health.
Breaking into #longevity isn’t straightforward.
For many students and early-career people, especially those outside traditional pathways, it's unclear where to start or how to contribute.
If you’re curious about the fellowship, applications, or whether this is a good fit for you, we’re hosting a live Q&A webinar: luma.com/je10l8xg
where we’ll walk through the program and answer question.
Feel free to share this opp with anyone who needs a way in.
We wrote this short piece explaining the reality of entering the field and how the LongX Xplore Program is designed to lower those entry barriers:

I ask for a tiny Birthday gift - 3 minutes of your attention and a coffee.
I am 1 calendar year older than yesterday. It is the 6th of February, and I love this date because I have a lot of hugs from and wonderful conversations with my friends and family members. What I hate, though, is getting older - I want to get younger and healthier or at least remain at my current level of health. I want this option for myself, my family, my friends, and everyone in the world. That is why I have dedicated my career to the emerging longevity biotechnology industry.
You can help me in this quest by doing one of the following steps:
