Food Technologist — Longevity Research Vrozart Health · The Longevor Initiative · Mohali · Full-Time
About the Role
VrozartX Venture Studio is building a longevity research and product development programme — The Longevity Initiative — focused on the science of extending healthy human lifespan through functional nutrition, nutraceuticals, and evidence-based dietary intervention. This is a research-first role for someone who wants to do serious work at the intersection of food science, longevity biology, and product development — and communicate that work to a growing public audience through our blog, The Longevor.
You will be doing three things: conducting and synthesising primary and secondary research on longevity, nutrition, and bioactive compounds; developing and testing nutraceutical formulations; and writing and managing The Longevor blog. If that combination of lab, literature, and writing appeals to you, read on.
What You Will Do
Research
- Review and synthesise scientific literature on longevity science, functional foods, nutraceuticals, bioactive compounds, gut health, metabolic health, and preventive nutrition
- Track developments in ageing biology, nutrigenomics, the microbiome, and dietary interventions with evidence of healthspan impact
- Evaluate ingredients, formulations, and clinical evidence for potential product development
- Build and maintain a structured internal research library covering key topics within the longevity and functional nutrition space
- Identify gaps in current research relevant to Vrozart's product and content agenda and propose areas for investigation
- Liaise with external researchers, academic institutions, and subject matter experts where relevant
Nutraceutical Development
- Research, source, and evaluate ingredients with documented functional or longevity-supporting properties — adaptogens, polyphenols, probiotics, prebiotics, peptides, vitamins, minerals, and emerging bioactives
- Design and develop nutraceutical formulations — capsules, powders, functional foods — grounded in clinical evidence and aligned with target health outcomes
- Coordinate with contract manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and testing laboratories
- Ensure all formulations comply with FSSAI regulations and applicable food safety and labelling requirements
- Support regulatory documentation, claim substantiation, and product registration processes
- Conduct or coordinate stability testing, sensory evaluation, and quality assessment for developed products
The Longevor Blog
- Own the content calendar and publication rhythm for The Longevor — Vrozart's longevity-focused blog and knowledge platform
- Write clear, well-researched, scientifically accurate articles that translate complex research into accessible content for a health-conscious general audience
- Commission and edit contributions from external researchers, clinicians, or subject matter experts where relevant
- Maintain scientific rigour in all published content — no unsubstantiated claims, no sensationalism, no inaccurate health messaging
- Build The Longevor into a credible reference point in India's longevity and functional health conversation
What We Are Looking For
Qualifications
- B.Tech or M.Sc. in Food Technology, Food Science, Nutrition, Nutraceuticals, or a closely related field
- Minimum 1 years of experience in food product development, nutraceutical formulation, or functional food research
- Freshers with exceptional academic credentials and demonstrable research writing ability will be considered
What matters most
- Genuine intellectual curiosity about longevity science — you read papers outside of work hours because you find this fascinating
- Strong scientific writing ability — you can write a literature review and a readable blog post with equal competence
- Working knowledge of FSSAI regulations governing nutraceuticals, health supplements, and functional foods
- Familiarity with ingredient databases, clinical trial databases, and scientific literature search tools
- Attention to detail in both research synthesis and formulation documentation
- Comfort working independently and managing your own time across multiple workstreams
Nice to have
- Exposure to adaptogens, longevity compounds (NMN, resveratrol, spermidine, berberine, etc.), or Ayurvedic functional ingredients
- Experience writing for a health or science publication or blog
- Knowledge of gut microbiome research and its relationship to metabolic and longevity outcomes
- Familiarity with global regulatory frameworks beyond FSSAI — EFSA, FDA dietary supplement regulations
