Science

Fundación LONGENIA connects biogerontology, international scientific collaboration and public communication to advance understanding of aging and healthy longevity.

International Honorary Scientific Advisers

Fundación LONGENIA collaborates with an international network of experts in aging research and longevity, fostering scientific exchange and interdisciplinary cooperation.

Michael Fossel MD, PhD

President and Co-Founder of Telocyte, United States

A pioneer and international expert in aging, age-related diseases and human longevity.

Bilu Huang

Founder and Principal Investigator of the Bilu Huang Institute for Aging Research, Hong Kong SAR, China

Independent theoretical researcher and originator of the Integrated Aging Theory Framework, including the TRCS Model, with a research approach grounded in first-principles thinking.

Current Scientific Initiatives

LONGENIA articulates a scientific approach focused on connecting fundamental knowledge, institutional collaboration and public education on healthy aging.

Science

Accessible and rigorous dissemination of knowledge on aging, biogerontology and healthy longevity, bringing scientific research closer to non-specialist audiences.

TRCS Model Validation

Promotion of the scientific evaluation and validation of the TRCS Model, proposed by Bilu Huang, through experimental research and scientific collaboration.

Medical biostasis

A last-resort option that deserves to be known

Fundación LONGENIA’s science communication lines include medical biostasis: an experimental field involving protocols for cellular stabilisation and low-temperature tissue preservation, aimed at preserving biological structure when current medicine has no effective therapeutic options, with the aim of keeping open the possibility of future treatments.

Experimental nature
Patient autonomy
Ethical rigour

The Foundation communicates medical biostasis according to three non-negotiable principles: full transparency about its experimental nature, absolute respect for patient autonomy and ethical rigour. It is an experimental field currently under investigation and must be approached with scientific prudence, without creating unproven clinical expectations. We believe patients in terminal medical situations should have access to rigorous information about its existence, limitations and experimental character.

Scientific collaboration between Fundación LONGENIA and BHIAR

Scientific Collaboration with BHIAR

Fundación LONGENIA collaborates with the Bilu Huang Institute for Aging Research (BHIAR) on science communication, scientific cooperation and international dialogue in aging research.

Bilu Huang is the creator of the Integrated Aging Theory Framework, which includes the TRCS Model of Cell Senescence. The TRCS Model has received preliminary validation. Developed from a first-principles approach, this theoretical framework proposes a different perspective for understanding the fundamental mechanisms of biological aging and cellular senescence. BHIAR advances scientific development, validation and research related to this framework.
