Boston-born biotech founder Felix Wong launches AI-driven startup in California

Aug 7, 2026·read at STAT ↗Neutral

Felix Wong grew up near Boston, earned two degrees at Harvard and completed a post-doc at MIT before launching his biotech company in California.

His startup applies artificial intelligence to identify compounds that could slow aging, a goal Wong describes as searching for the fountain of youth.

Wong cites California’s creative atmosphere and lower cost pressures compared with Boston’s rising taxes and living expenses as reasons for locating his office in Redwood City.
