Top rated!Uncover the science of longevity with Nicklas Brendborg, biotech expert and bestselling author of “Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity.” With a Master's degree in bio-technology from the University of Copenhagen, he combines academic depth with real-world insight into how we age and what we can do about it. In his keynotes, he translates cutting-edge research into concrete strategies that help people live longer, healthier and more energetic lives. Whether you want to boost employee well-being, productivity or long-term performance, booking Nicklas Brendborg means giving your audience practical tools backed by serious science.
Nicklas Brendborg has emerged as one of the most prominent biotech researchers of his generation, with a sharp focus on the science of aging and longevity. Armed with a Master's degree in bio-technology from the University of Copenhagen, he bridges rigorous academic training with an ability to spot what truly matters in everyday life.
As the bestselling author of “Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity,” he explores how nature’s most remarkable organisms can teach us to live longer and healthier. His work takes him from cutting-edge laboratories to remote corners of the world, where he studies surprising longevity clues hidden in animals, environments and extreme conditions. This combination of field exploration and scientific depth forms the backbone of his talks.
In his keynotes Nicklas Brendborg guides audiences through the latest breakthroughs in anti-aging science without drowning them in jargon. He debunks popular myths around miracle cures and quick fixes, replacing them with a clear, evidence-based understanding of what actually works.
Drawing from “Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity,” he shares stories from research labs and remote locales that keep audiences hooked while grounding every point in solid data. Listeners learn how cells age, which lifestyle choices make a real difference, and where science is heading in the quest to slow aging. Rather than vague inspiration, they leave with concrete, science-backed steps they can apply immediately to support a longer and healthier life.
What sets Nicklas Brendborg apart on stage is his ability to turn complex biotech research into practical strategies that support performance at work and well-being at home. His dynamic presentations blend fresh findings with relatable examples, making the science of aging feel personal, relevant and actionable.
For organisations, his message is directly linked to key priorities such as health, productivity and resilience. He shows how the same mechanisms that influence lifespan are closely tied to energy levels, mental clarity and long-term performance. By understanding and applying longevity principles, employees can build habits that reduce burnout risk, strengthen focus and support more sustainable ways of working.
Nicklas’s speaking style is engaging and down-to-earth. He uses storytelling to bring anti-aging research to life, connecting the dots between high-level science and everyday decisions about sleep, nutrition, stress and movement. The result is a talk that both fascinates and equips people with tools they can use the moment they leave the room.
In his talks, Nicklas Brendborg typically explores themes such as:
These themes are always tailored to the audience, whether it is a corporate event, internal conference or a broader gathering focused on health, innovation or the future of work.
Booking Nicklas Brendborg means bringing a speaker to the stage who combines credibility, clarity and genuine enthusiasm for his field. Your audience is invited into the forefront of biotech and longevity research, while constantly being reminded: this is about their lives, their health and their future.
For leadership teams and organisations, his keynotes are a strategic investment in long-term performance. By helping people understand how to take charge of their health and aging, he supports a culture where well-being and productivity go hand in hand. Employees are encouraged to think differently about their daily habits, their energy, and how they can stay sharp and engaged for years to come.
Nicklas leaves audiences with a sense of curiosity and possibility. Participants walk away with renewed motivation, practical tools and a deeper appreciation of how modern science can help them live longer, healthier and more purposeful lives. If you want a speaker who can ignite interest, inspire change and anchor it all in serious research, book Nicklas Brendborg for your next event.

“The best presentation we have had in the county.” The words of praise are from Astrid, Vivian and Sarah, students of biotech class 3Z. They were given the chance to attend a presentation by acclaimed scientist and writer, Nicklas Brendborg, author of Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity. After the presentation, the students queued up to buy Nicklas' book, have it signed and ask him questions.

Keynote by Nicklas Brendborg:
Based on his best-selling book Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity, Nicklas Brendborg presents science's answer to a long life. The quest for long life used to be a specialty of quacks and adventurers. Today science has replaced magic and religion and we have never been closer to cracking the code to a long and healthy life then today. But what does science have to say about anti-ageing? What works and what certainly does not? And what can we do ourselves?
Trying to find the answers, Nicklas Brendborg takes us on an exciting trip through the most remote places on Earth to the most hi-tech of labs. On our way we will meet zombie cells, jellyfish ageing backwards as well as mad and brilliant scientists. We will learn why it is a good idea to use dental floss and to donate blood if you want to live a long life and why it is more dangerous to be lonely than to smoke and drink alcohol.

Keynote by Nicklas Brendborg:
Just one more bag of chips and then… We eat too unhealthily, we waste time on our phones, and we end up on Netflix instead of in the gym. Drawing on his book “Super Stimulated: How Our Biology Is Being Manipulated to Create Bad Habits”, Nicklas Brendborg explains why it’s so hard to break bad habits.
Because it’s not you that something is wrong with: When you can’t leave the bag of chips alone, it’s because an army of researchers in the food industry are employed with the single purpose of getting you to eat more. And when you can’t stop scrolling or let go of a Netflix series, it’s because tech companies use even more researchers against you.
It’s the individual’s willpower versus top scientists with brain scanners, high-tech laboratories, and the latest knowledge about human biology. But that doesn’t mean the battle is lost. Once you understand how the manipulation works and have the right tools, you can take back control.
With formidable storytelling skills and a broad command of the history of science, Nicklas Brendborg uncovers the habit-driven downside of the good life.
