Longevity — or living healthier for longer — is a hot topic, drawing millions of readers to Business Insider and driving billions of dollars of investment worldwide.
It’s easy to see why the promise of a medical fountain of youth is enticing to both the average person and those peddling snake oil, looking to make a quick buck.
That’s why Business Insider is launching its Rising Stars of Longevity list, to celebrate and acknowledge those in the longevity space outpacing their peers with meaningful, impactful work.
And we need your help! Via this form, we are seeking nominations in three key categories:
1. Scientists driving aging and healthspan research
We’re looking for academics, translational scientists, clinician-scientists, and other experts who are producing exciting, rigorous, and evidence-based work that could help people live longer.
Our definition is deliberately broad.
2. Venture capitalists making smart investments
Tell us about the VCs making thoughtful, science-driven investments in everything from new therapies to medical infrastructure, without getting distracted by hype.
3. Leaders of institutions giving patients access to the latest breakthroughs
Who stands out to you for their work giving patients access to exciting, clinically proven, and ground-breaking therapies?
Tell us about the individuals and institutions bringing scientific rigor to one of the most ambitious areas of modern healthcare.
Nominations close on Sunday, January 11, 2026.
Thank you for your submissions. We can’t wait to read them!
