activism and education to defeat aging
"We are on the verge of a revolution in medicine: understanding, treating, and ultimately preventing the causes of degenerative aging. But medical revolutions only happen if we all stand up in support of funding and research. We did it for cancer. We're doing it for Alzheimer's. We can do it for aging - and create an era of longer, healthier lives!"

Companies at the Cutting Edge

Who is working on the anti-aging and regenerative medicine of the future? Who can help you take advantage of the few lifestyle and medical options for living healthily for longer today? The medical research industry is starting to take the anti-aging business seriously, which is a good thing for all of us.

Resources

Advanced Cell Technology
Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) are at the forefront of embryonic stem cell, therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine research. They produce the tools, technology and cells needed for the latest advances in this field.

Elixir Pharmaceuticals
Elixir was founded to discover therapeutics that slow aging, forestall the disease and disability that accompany aging and extend life's most productive period. Elixir focuses on genetic studies that could lead to the discovery the first true pharmaceutical approach to aging.

Genescient
Genescient is a new biology company that combines genomics with massive selective screening to analyze, penetrate and exploit whole genomes in order to develop novel therapeutics. Genescient's research focuses on the development of therapeutic substances that target the chronic diseases of aging.

LifeGen Technologies
The mission of LifeGen Technologies is to discover the genetic basis of the aging process with the goal of increasing the healthy life span of humans and animals.

Sierra Sciences
Our mission is to discover a medicine to prevent and/or reverse cellular senescence (the phenomenon where cells lose the ability to divide). We believe that cellular senescence is an underlying cause of many conditions in cells which are related to the diseases of human aging, including aging itself.

Sirtris Pharmaceuticals
Sirtris is investigating the biochemistry and genetics of calorie restriction, metabolism and aging. Like many successfully funded companies, their declared aims focus on treatments for specific common age-related conditions.

Telomolecular Corp.
Telomolecular nanotechnologies have been shown to regenerate human tissues. The corporation's primary focus is on the delivery of therapeutic agents that lengthen and repair chromosomal telomeres in living animals. Successful therapies based on this tactic may offset, and potentially reverse, many devastating age-related diseases and perhaps address the symptoms and signs recognized as human aging.
