About QOL Project™
QOL Project™ was founded by Dr. Christie, a double board-certified plastic and general surgeon whose clinical practice spans Beverly Hills and Milan, to formalize and protect the science behind a new era of precision medicine and regenerative aesthetics.
A physician-led vision
Every day, clinical practice generates knowledge that has the power to change how medicine is delivered, but that knowledge rarely gets the chance to scale. QOL Project™ exists to capture that opportunity, transforming direct clinical experience into protected intellectual property, rigorous research, and world-class physician education.
Physician-scientist at the helm
Dr. Christie brings a rare dual perspective: a high-profile, concierge clinical practice applying novel therapeutics through personalized medicine, paired with a rigorous, data-driven approach to research and education. Clinical outcomes are optimized across healthspan, aesthetics, and quality of life through her proprietary, clinically validated methodologies, the same ones taught through QOL Institute™, ensuring authenticity from lab to treatment room.
The scientific team
QOL Project™ is built on a multidisciplinary team spanning tissue engineering, computational biology, genomics, and clinical medicine:
- Tuan Nguyen, PhD — Tissue engineering, microfluidics, and organoids
- Minh Duc Cao, PhD — AI and machine learning in drug discovery, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and computational bioinformatics
- Lela Violet Andrews, PhD — Genomics and bioinformatics
- Tara Serena Haven, PhD — Medical biochemistry, biophysics, quantitative psychology, and project leadership
- Dr. Christie Prendergast, DO, FACS — Clinical anchor, bringing over a decade of surgical and aesthetics practice to every protocol the team develops
Why the team matters
No single specialty can credibly deliver on this vision alone. Validating a compound the way QOL Project™ intends, from organoid modeling through AI-driven analysis, genomics, biochemistry, manufacturing controls, and clinical interpretation, requires exactly this kind of team working in concert. It's the combination of disciplines, not any one of them, that makes the approach possible.
QOL Project™ is designed as a durable foundation in precision medicine and regenerative aesthetics, one built to create lasting value as it grows.
