Expand Labs marks a first in Romania with the opening of a hub dedicated to preventive health, longevity, and biohacking. Located in Bucharest at 48 Aviatorilor Boulevard, this space introduces a new health approach aligned with the latest global trends, focused on prevention and life optimization. The total investment exceeds €1 million, allocated to infrastructure, cutting-edge equipment, and the development of proprietary software that enables personalized health monitoring.
Longevity as a Smart Investment
More young people are interested in how to age healthily. According to a Global Wellness Institute survey, youth worldwide are increasingly drawn to wellness and healthy aging, recognizing that aging itself is not a disease. This trend is driven by greater awareness of healthy living and chronic disease prevention. Recently, there has also been heightened interest in using innovative technologies to maintain health and optimize performance in everyday life.
Prevention and Biohacking: New Standards for Life Quality
With a strong focus on active prevention and optimization, Expand Labs showcases biohacking techniques aimed at supporting long-term health and preventing chronic diseases. The hub offers a curated range of services targeting core aspects of longevity, including 360° health assessments, individually tailored protocols, and state-of-the-art technology, all under one roof. This approach aims to enhance vitality by improving immunity, cellular regeneration, detoxification, metabolic balance, and sleep quality—key aspects of enhancing physical and cognitive performance.
A Team of Internationally Certified Experts
The Expand Labs team comprises 50 specialists, including internationally certified experts offering unique perspectives on longevity and preventive health. “In a world constantly exposed to health risks, education and prevention are essential to long-term well-being. At Expand Labs, we aim to change the way we perceive health, redefining it as a journey towards living life at full potential—with physical vitality and mental-emotional balance,” states Dr. Anca Mihalcea, a specialist in geriatrics and gerontology known for her innovative approaches to longevity medicine.
Cutting-Edge Technologies, a First for Romania
Introducing a unique assessment for chronic inflammation based on the suPAR biomarker, along with blood, microbiome, heavy metal, and epigenetic tests measuring telomere length and current aging rate, the hub provides a comprehensive view of risk factors for personalized treatment strategies. Visitors can benefit from scientifically backed technologies, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), red light therapy, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), infrared saunas, ice baths, ozone saunas, and IV therapies. These are supplemented with nutrition programs, psychotherapy, dermatological and cosmetic services, physical therapy, yoga, Pilates, breathwork, and meditation.
The Expand Health software platform completes the experience, integrating health data from multiple sources—wearables and lab tests—into a unified system. This allows for the rapid creation of personalized programs based on concrete data, facilitating continuous monitoring and encouraging active engagement in personal health.
Science-Backed Foundations – Methods Validated Internationally
“We draw inspiration from biohacking techniques used by elite athletes—from hyperbaric oxygen therapy to red light therapy and ice baths—which help them exceed physical limits and recover quickly. But these resources benefit not only athletes; those with intense lifestyles—entrepreneurs, leaders, or creatives—can also benefit from these technologies to support physical and mental performance,” adds Răzvan Preduchin, General Manager and Co-founder of Expand Labs.
Romania’s Move Towards Preventive Health and Longevity
The opening of Expand Labs signals Romania’s significant strides toward preventive health and longevity, aligning with global trends gaining momentum in countries like the USA, UK, Japan, and Germany. This hub becomes a reference point for those who seek to optimize their health and embrace a lifestyle focused on prevention, longevity, and peak performance.
