OUR PROJECTS
Targeting Healthy Longevity
Making increased healthspan a part of public discourse
The Targeting Healthy Longevity sessions (formerly the Targeting Metabesity Conferences) bring together leading geroscientists, policymakers, legislators, regulators, academics, C-level business executives, and healthcare providers in cross-disciplinary discussions and panels. These free, virtual sessions inform the wider public of recent developments in longevity research and innovation.

Project Healthspan
Making increased healthspan a political priority
Project Healthspan advocates for federal legislation encouraging the creation of new interventions for increasing healthspan. We coordinate with other advocacy groups, including the Healthspan Action Coalition (HSAC), as well as institutions like the National Academy of Medicine, NIA, and FDA, to educate policymakers and the public on the benefits and necessity of extending healthy longevity for all.
​
As part of Project Healthspan, we have partnered with HSAC to create the THRIVE Act. The Act proposes incentives for the development of new healthspan products and outlines a tiered system to expedite their approval.
Project Endpoints
Making increased healthspan a regulatory endpoint
​
The American healthcare system prefers treat diseases over preventing them. Our regulatory processes exacerbate this problem by emphasizing disease-focused modalities, creating research silos that impede the study of aging and associated conditions as a single unit.
​
We connect leaders in different spheres to identify the clinical endpoints associated with longevity as a whole, moving the needle to target and prevent the targeted common causes of aging.
Healthspan Equity
Making increased healthspan accessible to all
​
Socioeconomic circumstances have an enormous impact on both the number of years people live and how healthy they will be. We recognize that increasing healthspan must be done in an equitable manner that provides access to nutrition, exercise, education, work, and healthy childhood. We combine Healthspan Equity with a scientific understanding of the aging process to increase healthspan in a practical way that benefits everyone.
