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.

SENSible Question: How Secure a Mitochondrial “Backup” is Allotopic Expression?

A supporter asks if “backing up” copies of the mitochondrially-encoded genes in the nucleus is really viable, granted free radical damage in the nucleus. We emphasize the many additional ways that the nuclear copies will be safer than the mitochondrial originals, that the “backup copies” can be backed up again, and how they and additional strategies will buy us time for even better solutions.

Legs of Iron, Feet of Clay

Aging muscles lose strength above and beyond what would be expected from the mere loss of muscle mass. Accordingly, many drugs have been shown to stimulate muscle growth in older people, but the increased muscle mass consistently fails to translate into increased strength and physical function. To let people live independent lives for longer, we need damage-repair longevity therapeutics to repair the cellular and molecular damage that makes aging muscle dysfunctional.
