Nominations are now open for Business Insider's first Rising Stars of Longevity list.
The list will highlight people of all ages doing impactful work in the buzzy longevity space.
You can nominate people using this form until January 11, 2026.

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.
