Gero Futures Think Tank Series Logo2

To envision the hopes and needs of the next four decades of aging research, AFAR convened leaders from the scientific, philanthropic, policy, and technology sectors for a private series of intimate and invigorating think tanks in 2021.

AFAR hoped that the GeroFutures Think Tank series can connect established and emerging perspectives, engage long-time and newly acquainted stakeholders, and offer actionable recommendations.

The first three Think Tanks focused on:

  • Supporting Basic Science and Geroscience
  • Inviting Investment in Gerotherapeutics
  • Preparing the Translational Research Pipeline

Insights and inspirations from the session are collected in our Gero Futures Think Tanks report.
