Longevity Research Circle

A student collective for aging and regenerative medicine research 🧬

[David He @realDavidHelium]

Toronto needed a space where trainees could actually engage with the people moving the longevity field forward. That's why we built @lrc_bio. TABS 3 is a wrap — and the fact that this community keeps showing up makes it worth doing every year. Grateful to all who made it happen🧬
