About us

The Aging Initiative was founded in 2023 at Harvard to bring together students, researchers, and innovators passionate about aging and longevity. Since then, we’ve grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has engaged hundreds through symposiums, mixers, speaker events, collaborative projects, etc. Looking ahead, we’re expanding our leadership team and invite students and professionals to join us in shaping the future of aging research and longevity innovation.
