The Kitalys Institute is organizing Targeting Healthy Longevity (previously Targeting Metabesity) for 2023 different from previous years, where the conference was a once a year event taking place over several days in October.  For 2023, Targeting Healthy Longevity will consist of a series of free monthly conference session webinars, culminating in an in-person event near the end of the year.  
 

The inaugural session, held on May 3, 2023, included a fireside chat with FDA Commissioner Rob Califf, addressing for the first time, to our knowledge, the regulation of healthspan products, followed by a roundtable discussion among healthy longevity leaders on regulatory challenges and opportunities. 

Targeting Healthy Longevity Session 2 "Opportunities & Challenges Preempting Chronic Diseases Before They Start" took place on September 13, 2023.  The extraordinary panel of Moderator George Vradenburg, Lord Ara Darzi, Hilary Evans, Mark McClellan, Dame June Raine and Samantha Roberts, spoke on the topic of interventions in the pre-disease state (e.g. Alzheimer’s vaccines) is key to healthy longevity; regulators and payers need to agree. 

​

Session 3 of the Targeting Healty Longevity Series, "Loneliness:  The Hidden Public Health Crisis", was attended by hundreds on October 17, 2023.  Our speaker, Preeminent loneliness researcher, Julianne Holt-Lunstad, was interviewed during a fireside chat by co-moderators, Lucy Rose (founder of the Cost of Loneliness Project) and Jeremy Abbate (publisher of Scientific American).
