A New Vision of Longevity Opens...
Targeting Longevity 2026 begins with a central question: are we approaching aging the right way? For decades, research has focused on pills and isolated targets. A new perspective is emerging, aging as a loss of communication between biological systems. The discussion starts now. We look forward to discussing this strategic shift with the speakers and participants in Berlin.
