1 in 4 Americans at age 50 won't make it to 75.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We're flipping healthcare
right side up.
Our current healthcare model is largely reactive—focused on treating illness after symptoms appear, a system we refer to as ‘sickcare’. At Human Longevity, we’re shifting from reactive sickcare to preventative healthcare.
Our Approach
Rooted in Science
Ranked Top 50 Biomedical Companies Globally by Nature Index
Scientific discovery is at the core of what we do, and no other longevity practice comes close to the level of research we carry out to understand our 3 billion DNA base pairs and their influence on our health and longevity.
We’ve published over 20 scientific papers in high-profile peer-reviewed journals, including Nature Genetics, PNAS, AJHG, Genome Medicine, and many others.

Founded by Visionaries
In 2000, Dr. J. Craig Venter made history by sequencing the first human genome alongside NIH consortium partners. This groundbreaking achievement marked the beginning of the genomic revolution, ushering in a new era of precision medicine and redefining our understanding of human health.
13 years later, Dr. Venter co-founded Human Longevity and currently serves as HLI’s Chief Scientific Advisor.
A Commitment to Transforming 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.
Human Longevity’s first precision medicine clinic was opened in San Diego in 2015. Since then, our clinic has opened two more locations in San Francisco and Beijing, with plans for seven additional locations across the globe over the next 5 years.
