An extraordinary pedigree
Always at the forefront of genomics,
precision medicine, and longevity
In 2000, Dr. J. Craig Venter sequenced the first human genome alongside NIH consortium partners; it was the start of the genomic revolution that ushered in the era of precision medicine.
13 years later, Dr. Venter co-founded Human Longevity and currently serves as HLI’s Chief Scientific Advisor.
A commitment
to the future of healthcare
Starting as a research project, Human Longevity has now become a comprehensive precision medicine company under the direction of Dr. Wei-wu He. As one of the original scientists that worked with J. Craig Venter at Human Genome Sciences, Dr. He has been instrumental in bringing the genomic revolution to proactive healthcare.
Our first precision medicine clinic was opened in San Diego in 2015. Since then, Human Longevity has opened two more clinics in San Francisco and Beijing, with plans for seven additional locations across the globe over the next 5 years.
