Laura Deming is the daughter of John and Tabitha Deming;[1] she grew up in New Zealand.[2] Deming and her brother, Trey, were homeschooled; she says she taught herself "calculus and probability and statistics, and French literature and history". At age 8, Deming became interested in the biology of aging,[3] and at age 12 she joined the lab of Cynthia Kenyon at the University of California, San Francisco.[2][4] Kenyon successfully increased the lifespan of the worm C. elegans by a factor of ten through genetic engineering.[citation needed][5] Deming was accepted to MIT at age 14 and studied physics,[4][6] but later dropped out to accept the $100,000 Thiel Fellowship and start a venture capital firm.[7] Deming was one of only two women in the 2011 initial class of Thiel Fellows.[8]
