Ana Maria Cuervo, MD, PhD
2008 Vincent Cristofalo Rising Star Award in Aging Research and 2000 Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and AFAR Grant for Junior Faculty
“As an Assistant Professor, when I wanted to take my lab in the direction of aging research, AFAR was the first to provide a pilot grant to get me off the ground. Without that, it is not clear whether I would have developed a successful project in the field. I am sure that a large percentage of scientists who now are leaders in this emergent field have the same story to tell. Simply put, AFAR has been essential to bringing aging to the forefront of medical research.”
In our most current funding cycle, AFAR grant programs are providing more than $3,700,000 in support to 49 investigators and students.
