Biology of ageing
How do changes in cells and tissues shape ageing, and which mechanisms could become useful research targets?
Explore the biologyOur ambition is immortality for all humanity. We are building an international initiative to support rigorous research into ageing and the possibilities of radically longer, healthier lives.
More time to discover. More years with the people we love. More possibilities for generations to come.
Progress begins with specific questions, careful experiments and evidence that can withstand scrutiny.
How do changes in cells and tissues shape ageing, and which mechanisms could become useful research targets?
Explore the biologyWhat can we learn from cellular senescence and experimental reprogramming about restoring tissue function?
Explore cellular researchHow do tissues repair themselves, and what might stem-cell research teach us about preserving healthy function?
Explore regenerationThese are fields we are studying, not claims of funded programmes or clinical results.
We aim to bring philanthropic support and rigorous science together through independent assessment, staged funding and open reporting.
See the proposed frameworkA precise hypothesis, a credible team and a clear account of what remains unknown.
Qualified review of methods, feasibility and value, with conflicts of interest disclosed.
Agreed budgets and milestones, with decisions to continue, adapt or stop.
Scientific and financial updates, including setbacks and negative results.
Our mission is global. We want to connect people, knowledge and sustained support across borders, and keep working beyond any single campaign.
