Academy for Health and Lifespan Research (AHLR)

World's aging researchers unite to accelerate breakthroughs in longevity

First Global Research Academy Taking on the ‘Age Old’ Question

Why must we age and what can we do to slow it?

This question has haunted humanity from the beginning of conscious thought. Science is currently at a threshold moment; the biology of aging has never been as understood, and as poised for innovation and disruption as it is today. The Academy is harnessing the collective power of 16 of the world’s brightest and most distinguished gerontologists to ensure that breakthroughs in aging research are not only accelerated but also made accessible to all.
