ABOUT
New possibilities for well-being, from Japan.
The Japan Biohacking Association (日本バイオハッキング協会) links science and practice in biohacking, health optimization, longevity and well-being.
We explain the science in plain language, and we bring together people who don’t usually meet: researchers, healthcare professionals, companies, entrepreneurs and practitioners.
We also want to connect Japan’s own culture of yojo, its accumulated wisdom about staying well, with leading research and technology from abroad.
Passing on knowledge is only part of it. We want people with different expertise and experience to meet, share their questions, and grow new learning and new business together.
Health: from a personal interest to a possibility for society.
We’ll keep growing as a place where the wisdom of Japan and the world meet.
