Lifespan Research Institute (LRI)
Supporting the development of biotechnologies focused on ending age-related diseases, previously known as Lifespan.io
Lifespan Research Institute is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on developing, promoting, and ensuring widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions targeting the disabilities and diseases of aging, combining direct research efforts with robust education, affiliation, and outreach programs.
In addition to intramural research programs, Lifespan Research Foundation supports research projects at universities and institutes around the world with the goal of curing such age-related diseases as macular degeneration, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Educating the public about how we can solve the economic and political issues stemming from an aging world population and training researchers to support a growing regenerative medicine field are also major endeavors of the organization that are being accomplished though advocacy campaigns and educational programs.
Lifespan Research Institute is dedicated to ensuring that the benefits of longevity research are accessible on the international stage, with the aim of creating a future where everyone has access to biomedical advancements.
Previously known as Life Extension Advocacy Foundation and lifespan.io.
In October 2024, two pioneering groups joined forces. The SENS Research Foundation merged with the Lifespan Research Institute.
Initial founders:
- Keith Comito
- Oliver Medvedik
- Richard Kaufman
- Apneet Jolly
