About

Vyom Goel speaking at the Animal Longevity Summit 2026

I'm an Animal Biology honours student at the University of Guelph and the founder of the Animal Longevity Summit, an international scientific conference I started as a personal project, with no institution or budget behind it, and ran for the world's leaders in animal longevity in October 2026.

I recruited around 30 researchers and founders, closed corporate sponsorship, and built the entire commercial stack myself. I spend most of my time around scientists who are turning into founders, which is the population I want to keep finding.

Why animal longevity: the animal kingdom is the longevity field's most underused dataset. Species differ enormously in how long they stay healthy, and most of that variation has never been studied seriously. Companion animals are also where healthspan science reaches real lives fastest: shorter lifespans, shared environments with us, and owners who will act on good evidence now rather than in twenty years.

Research interests

Aging biology and healthspan; comparative and cross-species longevity; metabolic and neuroendocrine regulation of aging; translating lab findings into therapeutics and products.

Laboratory skills

  • Biochemistry (Introduction to Biochemistry): qualitative and quantitative assays of amino acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates; enzyme kinetics assays and analysis
  • Chemistry (General Chemistry I and II): safe use of standard chemical glassware and equipment, acid–base titration, buffer preparation and titration curves, synthesis of aspirin
  • Animal physiology and nutrition (Agricultural Animal Physiology, Animal Nutrition): laboratory components in physiological systems and diet formulation
  • Clinical: animal handling and restraint, surgical preparation, biological sample collection alongside veterinary staff
  • Data: statistical analysis, recording, graphing and interpreting experimental data; laboratory report writing
