About LACE
Nina Lacey. Longevity science, health optimization, and a lifelong study of human potential.
From an early age, Nina Lacey has been driven by one of humanity's most profound questions: why do we age, and how can we extend the years of health, vitality, and human potential?
Today, together with an international team of scientists, physicians, biologists, UHNWI specialists, executive recruiters, and travel experts, Nina delivers the highest standards of personalized service for a discerning global clientele.
The intersection of modern science and ancient knowledge
Her fascination with longevity began as a personal quest to understand the relationship between biology, nature, and human performance. As a teenager she explored natural compounds, nutrition, and environmental influences, building a deep curiosity for the mechanisms of health and aging.
Nina has dedicated years to studying the complex relationship between molecular biology, preventive medicine, nutrition, Blue-Zone Research, environmental health, and emerging technologies for a more optimized human experience.
Today, she lives between continents, constantly in motion and guided by the places her journey leads her. Entirely devoted to her passion and purpose, she has embraced a life defined by discovery, dedication, and a deep sense of vocation.
From molecular biology to Elevated Health and Prime Living Technologies
Nina combines expertise across molecular biology, longevity science, nutritional optimization, biohacking, biotechnology, supplementation, environmental health, and advanced wellness technologies.
Beyond LACE, she created the brand LaceSea Fibres, a pioneering venture rooted in Irish marine biotechnology and the extraordinary potential of seaweed science. Bridging science, sustainability, and innovation, the brand develops advanced seaweed-based solutions for functional textiles, fermented beverages, nutritional applications, and next-generation food technologies.
A central part of her philosophy: longevity is not created by one single intervention. It is the result of a complete ecosystem of nutrition, surroundings, habits, materials, technology, and recovery.
A new generation of longevity experts bridging science, innovation, lifestyle, and human potential. Making the knowledge, technologies, and expertise of tomorrow accessible today.

Mrs. Dr. Zhang
Co-Founder of LACE
Mrs. Dr. Zhang is a pioneering figure at the intersection of medical science, regenerative innovation, longevity, beauty, and luxury wellness. As Co-Founder of LACE, she brings more than three decades of surgical experience together with a profound commitment to redefining how we understand ageing, healing, and human potential.
After 30 years operating at the highest levels of surgical practice, Mrs. Dr. Zhang recognised that the greatest challenge was no longer simply to restore the body, but to understand its extraordinary capacity to heal and regenerate. In 2001, she turned her attention toward research and innovation, exploring new approaches to wound healing, cellular regeneration, skincare, infection resistance, and the body's natural biological mechanisms.
This journey led to the creation of BioLAPS, a science-driven cellular regeneration system developed around the principle of activating the body's own regenerative potential. Her work has resulted in six patents relating to natural nanoparticles and has established her as an advocate for a new generation of wellness and longevity solutions.
Her philosophy is deeply aligned with the vision of LACE: that ageing should not simply be accepted as an unavoidable decline, but approached as an opportunity for renewal, optimisation, and greater quality of life. Through her scientific and entrepreneurial work, Mrs. Dr. Zhang seeks to bridge advanced research with practical solutions that support beauty, wellbeing, and longevity.
As Co-Founder of LACE, Mrs. Dr. Zhang brings scientific authority, visionary thinking, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence to the organisation. Her role complements LACE's expertise in luxury hospitality, wellness, talent, and private-client services, creating a platform where science, exceptional people, and extraordinary experiences converge.
Together with her fellow co-founders, she represents a new philosophy of luxury wellness—one that looks beyond appearance and conventional hospitality towards a more sophisticated vision of longevity, regeneration, vitality, and human flourishing.
For Mrs. Dr. Zhang, the future of wellness is not about accepting limitations. It is about challenging them—and having the courage, science, and determination to redefine what is possible.
