Dr. Leo Nissola, the immunotherapy scientist who made waves internationally since the early days of the pandemic is on a mission to revolutionize the field of longevity and human enhancement. He is the visionary founder and CEO of Bioenhancement University, his private, research-centered institution is at the forefront of educating health professionals and establishing the first accredited online longevity hub designed to accelerate biotech implementation through science. “The future of medicine is Bioenhancement, it’s undeniable,” he asserts.
“Human enhancement enabled tennis player Mr. Piette to walk again using a high-tech exoskeleton at the recent Olympic Games in Paris. Despite significant investment in longevity research, science has yet to double human lifespan reliably, with no approved assets in the market. Bioenhancements are changing this—they are already helping people today and promise even greater impact in the future.”
Dr. Nissola’s leadership in this space has not gone unnoticed. He recently led the development of a White Paper on Human Enhancement, securing support from some of the most influential figures driving the next human agenda. Among these supporters are Dr. Aron D’Souza and the Enhanced Games a movement which is backed by visionaries like Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan. He also garnered support from venture capitalists moguls like Harish Consul of Ocgrows Ventures and Dr. Nuno Martins, both globally recognized as leaders in the longevity space. Dr. Nissola is a fan of Balaji Srinivasan since he read the book “Network States.”
Science requires action, not belief. We wrote this White Paper in a collaborative alliance with the Enhanced Games to call for the immediate incorporation of human enhancement education for healthcare providers worldwide and the creation of an accredited online longevity hub marking a pivotal step towards democratizing longevity and accelerating science implementation, Dr. Nissola says.

An accomplished physician and immunologist, Dr. Nissola is widely recognized for his contributions to cancer research and immunotherapy. His expertise in the field is reflected in his international best-selling book, THE IMMUNITY SOLUTION, which has been lauded for its insights into enhancing the body’s natural defenses. Additionally, he has served as a medical advisor for the Covid Act Now project, which played a crucial role in predicting the spread of COVID-19, was featured by the White House in press briefings, and assessed healthcare capacity across the United States during the pandemic across several nonprofits.
Over the past 18 months, Dr. Nissola has identified a critical need for expert-led training in the burgeoning fields of longevity and human enhancement. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there,” he explains. “We are creating education programs and an accredited online hub where people at home, as well as researchers, can find science-vetted, doctor-approved products to help them feel younger for longer.” This initiative, spearheaded by his firm FIRSTBIO Research, aims to equip clinicians and performance coaches with the knowledge and tools needed to deliver these advanced therapies safely and effectively.
On June 28th, 2024, Dr. Nissola arrived at a secret Caribbean Island, a hub for new gene-based therapies, through a biotech acceleration program designed to attract biotech innovators. His mission was straightforward: to determine whether the time was right to empower bioenhancement. His ideas quickly gained momentum and public interest. “I believe we should be bullish about getting partial reprogramming therapies into clinics as soon as possible and there are a few companies in this space, but clinicians need training, the public needs an online hub to gain access to these novel tools and we need to accelerate practical science implementation. There’s no time to waste—patients are waiting, “he says.
Since the early days of COVID-19, Dr. Nissola has been seen live on CBS News, CNN, the BBC, MSNBC, and many other outlets. Since the first phase of the pandemic, it became clear that new education models are warranted.
In a recent candid interview with Berlin-based journalist Maria Nimhuer, he shared a glimpse into his own thinking about life and living: “I learned the hard way that the ultimate asset is not time but peace, but we’ve got work to do.”
Dr. Nissola is acutely aware of the challenges and concerns that accompany such rapid advancements. He notes that post-pandemic anxieties have driven many to embrace unproven remedies and make extreme life decisions. For him, the solution lies in collaboration and a collective effort to build the future of medicine. Quoting philosopher Emil Cioran, he reflects, “‘Old age, after all, is merely the punishment for having lived.’ I don’t believe we should succumb to this “doomerist” thinking, but we need to decentralize science from cult-like movements and politics.”
There are more high achievers in Dr. Nissola’s family as well. His family’s history can be traced back to the lovely Italian village of San Benedetto Po, according to DNA genetic analysis and research on the family. Dr. Leo Nissola’s heritage traces back to Jacopo (Trento) Nizzola, an Italian Renaissance jeweler and medal sculptor for Queen Mary I of England and Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1536, was the ancestor of his clan, having his work displayed in the Louvre in Paris until this day.
Under Dr. Nissola’s leadership, Bioenhancement University is set to become not just an educational institution; it is a beacon of innovation in the longevity era. His unwavering commitment to integrating cutting-edge science into practical applications is setting the stage for a new era in healthcare—one where living longer and healthier lives is no longer a distant dream but an achievable reality.
Dr. Nissola’s book, THE IMMUNITY SOLUTION, is available in the U.S., U.K., Australia, China, and Brazil. “I’m building Bioenhancement University as my legacy project, and to give you a spoiler, there’s another book underway.” You can sign up for updates at bioenhancement.org.
Personally, I cannot wait to see what happens next, but one thing is certain: he’s in it to win it.
