Longevity Month
Featuring World-Class Researchers and Educational Events Throughout October 2025
This month-long celebration coinciding with International Longevity Day brings together leading scientists, researchers, and innovators to advance the science of healthy aging.​
​
A Convergence of Scientific Excellence
Lenox Longevity proudly announces its inaugural "Longevity Month," a comprehensive series of events throughout October 2025 that will bring together pioneering researchers, thought leaders, and innovators in the field of longevity science. The month-long initiative begins October 1st, coinciding with International Longevity Day, a global observance that promotes healthy aging and supports efforts to extend both lifespan and quality of life.
​
This unprecedented month showcases cutting-edge longevity research through world-renowned laboratory residencies, distinguished speaking events, and educational programming that positions Lenox as a premier destination for longevity science advancement.
​
The month opens with recognition of October 1st as International Longevity Day, a global awareness event focused on promoting healthy aging and preventing age-related disease. National Longevity Day is a global awareness event focused on promoting healthy aging, preventing age-related disease, and supporting medical research into life extension.
The Gladyshev Lab
Takes Residence
The Vadim Gladyshev Laboratory from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital will be in residence during the early days of October, bringing their groundbreaking work to Lenox. Gladyshev, professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, discussed the nature of aging and principles of lifespan control. Dr. Gladyshev's team has revolutionized our understanding of aging through their development of aging clocks and biomarkers, creating the first mouse epigenetic aging clocks and pioneering single-cell age profiling techniques. Their research focuses on longevity signatures across species and interventions, providing crucial tools for assessing biological age and the effects of longevity interventions.
TEDxBerkshires: Visionary Speakers Take the Stage
October 8th to 10th marks the highly anticipated TEDxBerkshires event, featuring three distinguished speakers who are reshaping longevity science:
​
Dr. Jean Hébert, recently appointed program manager at ARPA-H and Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, will present his revolutionary approach to defeating aging through tissue replacement. Hebert is the founder of BE Therapeutics, a company focused on reversing age-related damage to brain tissue. His laboratory research focuses on stem cell transplantation, plasticity, neurodegeneration, and cortical health. Dr. Hébert advocates for a radical paradigm shift in longevity research, proposing that extending lifespan indefinitely lies not in traditional anti-aging approaches, but in regenerative medicine and progressive brain tissue replacement.
Dr. David Barzilai, globally recognized longevity medicine physician and founder of Barzilai Longevity Consulting, brings his expertise in evidence-based healthspan optimization.
Dr. David Barzilai, MD, PhD, MBA, MS, DipABLM, FAAD, is a globally recognized longevity medicine physician, andconsultant specializing in evidence-based health span optimization best practices. Known as "Agingdoc" to his 30,000+ social media followers, Dr. Barzilai integrates cutting-edge longevity science with personalized strategies, serving as founding lecturer at the Geneva College of Longevity Science.
Professor Manolis Kellis from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory will share insights from his computational biology research. Manolis Kellis is a professor of Computer Science and Computational Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Dr. Kellis leads groundbreaking research in genomics, human genetics, and epigenomics, with particular expertise in Alzheimer's disease mechanisms. His lab has developed revolutionary single-cell analysis techniques that provide unprecedented insights into aging and neurodegeneration.
The Kellis Lab
Residency Program
October 12-15 welcomes the MIT Kellis Laboratory to Lenox for an intensive research residency. Members of the group come from a primarily computational background and share a strong passion for understanding biological systems. The Kellis Lab specializes in disease genetics, epigenomics, and gene circuitry, with recent breakthrough publications in Nature and Cell journals focusing on Alzheimer's disease mechanisms and aging biology.
Boston Longevity Week Integration
Community Engagement and Industry Partnership
​
October 19th features the exclusive Lenox Longevity hosted brunch during Boston Longevity Week, creating valuable networking opportunities for researchers, investors, and longevity enthusiasts.
​
October 20th to 21st marks our sponsorship and participation in the Biomarkers of Aging Conference, reinforcing our commitment to advancing the measurement and understanding of biological age.
​
October 22nd brings Health Innovation Night at the Liberty Hotel, showcasing the intersection of technology and longevity science.
Educational Excellence
October 23-25 presents the Longevity Biotech Fellowship educational event in Lenox, providing intensive training for the next generation of longevity researchers and entrepreneurs.
The month culminates with the October 26th Music and Longevity Jeffersonian Brunch at Winthrop Estate, exploring the fascinating connections between artistic expression and healthy aging.
A New Chapter in
Longevity Science
"This inaugural Longevity Month represents more than a series of events—it's the establishment of Lenox as a vital hub for longevity research and education," said [Spokesperson name]. "By bringing together world-class researchers like the Gladyshev and Kellis laboratories alongside visionary thought leaders, we're creating an unprecedented platform for advancing the science of healthy aging."
​
The initiative reflects the growing recognition that aging is not an inevitable decline but a biological process that can be understood, measured, and potentially modified. With global life expectancy reaching 73.5 years in 2025 and the population aged 60 years or over projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050, the work being showcased during Longevity Month has never been more critical.
About the Featured Researchers
The Gladyshev Laboratory at Harvard Medical School leads pioneering research in aging mechanisms, longevity signatures, and age reversal, with Dr. Gladyshev serving as an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
​
The Kellis Laboratory at MIT conducts cutting-edge computational biology research, with over 230 journal publications cited more than 115,000 times, focusing on disease genetics, epigenomics, and the molecular mechanisms of aging.
Dr. Jean Hébert's groundbreaking book "Replacing Aging" has redefined the conversation around longevity research, advocating for tissue replacement as the most promising path to extending human lifespan.
Dr. David Barzilai represents the practical application of longevity science, helping individuals and organizations implement evidence-based strategies for healthspan optimization.
