Biomedical research on aging aims to delay and compress years of sickness and extend years of health. This will enhance quality of life, contributing to a robust population of active, vital citizens.
The cellular processes of aging are connected to the biology of age-related disease. By targeting the biology of aging, we can target disease. This research paradigm, Geroscience, can transform the future of healthy aging.
AFAR has built the research pipeline of investigators dedicated to helping us all live healthier, for longer. Through our grant programs, scientific meetings, and webinars, AFAR fosters scientific exchange.
