Longevity Center Europe to Join Roundtable of Longevity Clinics at the Buck Institute to Establish Global Standards in Longevity Practices
With lifespans increasing worldwide, the need to ensure that those additional years are healthy has never been more pressing. This shift places a premium on quality of life and on creating environments that support not just longevity but health across a lifetime. The burgeoning field of longevity, spanning clinics, diagnostics, and interventions, aims to address these needs. Yet, despite the sector’s rapid growth, no established gold standards currently exist to guide these practices.
Longevity Center Europe, a pioneering medical center based in Warsaw and Zurich, dedicated to optimizing health and extending lifespan, is joining global leaders in the longevity field to address this gap. Joanna Bensz, CEO and co-founder of Longevity Center Europe, will lead discussions on best practices for the industry, fostering a collaborative platform to establish benchmarks for diagnostics and interventions within longevity clinics.
A global gathering to define standards
The upcoming Roundtable of Longevity Clinics, scheduled for December 6–7, 2024, will gather the world’s top longevity clinics, scientists, and solution providers at the Buck Institute in California, a renowned research institution dedicated exclusively to aging research. The Roundtable’s mission is to bring together experts to define these standards, discuss effective diagnostics, and explore recommendations for longevity-focused interventions, supplements, and therapies—all in the interest of enhancing quality of life for individuals and communities.
Distinguished experts share insights on longevity
Participants will engage with a distinguished lineup of thought leaders, including Peter Diamandis and esteemed researcher Valter Longo. Additional speakers include global authorities such as Dr. Eric Verdin, Director and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging; Dr. James Kirkland, Director of the Center for Gerotherapeutics at Cedars-Sinai; Dr. Leroy Hood, CEO of Phenome Health; Dr. Dean Ornish of Ornish Lifestyle Medicine; Dr. Michael Roizen from Cleveland Clinic; Dr. Andrea B. Maier from CHI Longevity; and Joanna Bensz, founder and CEO of Longevity Center and the International Institute of Longevity. Esteemed representatives from clinics such as Human Longevity, CHI Longevity, the Institute for Healthier Living in Abu Dhabi, Cleveland Clinic, Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, Fountain Life, Hooke, and Private Medical will also join the discussions.
Rising interest and investment in longevity
With interest in health and wellness surging, coupled with rising investor engagement in biotech and longevity, this Roundtable presents a unique opportunity to examine the current landscape, set future standards, and address the vital factors impacting health and wellbeing.
The event agenda will explore the growing role of longevity clinics, industry challenges, innovative medical interventions, advances in epigenetics, and pioneering developments in longevity medicine. Joanna Bensz commented, “Having founded the Longevity Center in Switzerland and Poland on rigorous scientific and medical principles, I felt it essential to address the challenges in this field and build a collaborative framework that serves both consumers and healthcare providers to advance longevity science. After the success of last year’s Roundtable, it was crucial to reconvene, review our progress, and set future goals while identifying new benchmarks. I am immensely proud to lead this initiative in pursuit of optimized health and care.”
A platform for global collaboration in longevity
One of the notable outcomes of the 2023 Roundtable was the creation of a platform for leading longevity clinics and top solution providers within the International Institute of Longevity, the event’s organizer. This platform, also founded by Joanna Bensz, seeks to bring together experts focused on enhancing physical, mental, and social wellbeing—a mission that ultimately serves individuals, communities, and governments as they work to make longevity more than just extended years, but a foundation for healthier lives.
