Joining Forces on a Shared Mission

Lifespan Research Institute

Lifespan.io (Life Extension Advocacy Foundation) and SENS Research Foundation are excited to announce the completion of their merger, forming a new 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Lifespan Research Institute (“LRI”) will develop, promote, and ensure widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions targeting the disabilities and diseases of aging, combining direct research efforts with robust education, affiliation, and outreach programs. The newly merged organization will focus on two core areas: Research and Outreach.

Discover the science behind our strategies to extend a healthy lifespan.

Training a new generation of scientists to tackle the roots of age-related disease.

Keep up to date on SRF’s latest news and activities.

Outreach Highlights -

SENS Research Foundation is seeking volunteers for blood donations.

Your participation will help advance our understanding of the immune system and mitochondrial biology in aging.

SENS Research Foundation, dedicated to advancing rejuvenation biotechnologies, has recently begun subleasing lab space in the heart of Silicon Valley.

The sublease includes access to an extensive list of laboratory equipment, a break room, conference rooms, and much more.

Research Highlights -

Watch SRF Science Writer Michael Rae‘s presentation Damage Repair is the Superior Approach Against Aging.

SRF is a proud sponsor of the Phaedon Institute’s Seno-Therapeutics Summit 2023. Dr. Amit Sharma spoke at the Summit – his presentation was entitled, “Next-generation Senotherapeutics: From harnessing the immune system to targeting newer vulnerabilities of senescent cells.

The summit was hosted by the Buck Institute For Research On Aging in Novato, CA. Entitled Seno-Therapeutics: Past, Present & Future of the Science of Cellular Senescence and Therapeutics, the summit was held November 7-8, 2023.

Education Highlights -

Thank you to our Director of Academic Affairs, Dr. Lilli Fishman, for participating in the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine GUIRR unit’s Industry Forum.

Thank you to  Kriti Bhardwaj and Kartik Sundaram for presenting their final presentation as part of the 2024 SRF Post-baccalaureate fellowship and graduate internship programs!

Welcome to our new Post-Baccalaureates for the 2024=2025 year!

Matt Kaeberlein, Ph.D., CEO of Optispan, Adjunct Professor of Oral Health Sciences at UW, and Co-Director of the Dog Aging Project presented  Longevity Science: From Molecules to Pets to Clinical Practice.

TRIMming Tau Damage in Its Foxholes

Aberrant tau inside neurons is a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease, but nearly all the therapies in development to target it can only capture the small amount that floats outside of them. A new animal study reports impressive results in clearing aberrant tau inside neurons and rejuvenating cognitive function, opening up an important new front in damage-repair strategies for maintaining the aging brain.

Monkeying With the Clocks Via Metformin

A recent study claimed to find that metformin rejuvenated cognitive function in aging monkeys and lowered biological age on a nonhuman primate biological age clock. The details make the result unconvincing.
