The Academy is excited to officially launch Inside Geroscience, a new podcast series from its Fellows. Episode 1 is now live on Spotify, Amazon Podcasts, Apple Music, and Pocket Casts.

A thoughtful start to a series focused on the science shaping how we age and how we might age better.

The Academy for Health and Lifespan Research (AHLR, "the Academy") today announced it is changing its name to the Academy of Geroscience. The change marks a significant step forward in the organization's mission to define and elevate the scientific foundation of the biology of aging.

Several Academy members are featured in this article from The New York Times Magazine about the current state of longevity science.

Nir Barzilai is featured in this news story on the biohacking movement has taken the health and wellness industry by storm.

Ahead of his appearance at Longevity Investors Conference, Nir Barzilai talks gerotherapeutics and choosing the right drugs for aging.

The Academy for Health and Lifespan Research (AHLR), the leading organization comprised of the world's most esteemed scientists dedicated to studying the mechanisms of aging and developing interventions to slow and reverse the process, today announced that Nir Barzilai, M.D. will serve as its new President, effective immediately. 

BOSTON, JULY 10 - The first annual AHLR conference will take place on July 30th -July 31st 2019. Our scientific founders and board members will be convening in Paris, France to establish a collective strategy towards achieving the goal of not just accelerating longevity research, but making sure that its implications are accessible to all. This event in Paris will be closed to the public, however plans to live-stream portions of the discussion online are currently in the works… More details to come, stay tuned!

BOSTON, FEBRUARY 13 – A group of leading scientists devoted to research on the mechanisms of biological aging today announced the formation of the Academy for Health and Lifespan, the first global non-profit group focused on accelerating breakthroughs in the expansion of the human health span. The timing of the announcement aligns with the Valentine’s Day holiday to call attention to the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research mission to enable people to live better and love longer.

The most common risk factor for serious disease is old age. Heart disease, cancer, stroke, neurological conditions, diabetes — all increase radically with advancing years. And the older a person is, the more likely he or she is to have multiple chronic illnesses.

Some scientists hope one day to treat all of them at once — by targeting aging itself.
