Our path is clear, and we’re in it for the long haul
Our Mission
There are more than 50 compounds and treatments that have been reported to extend lifespan in mammals, and dozens more that seem to prevent the diseases of aging — yet few of these studies have received independent follow-up or replication..
If we could find a healthspan-expanding treatment for humans, it would prevent years of severe illness for billions of people.
We think it’s possible to slow aging
The leading causes of death worldwide -- heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s — are diseases of aging. Yet there’s much more research into treating these diseases than preventing them.
Evidence from animals, from nematode worms to naked mole rats, tells us that the rate of aging is highly malleable. There are many genetic mutations and treatments that can make animals live longer and delay the onset of cancer, neurodegeneration, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and frailty.
