The Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Stanford University is focused on the fundamental biological processes that drive cellular, tissue, and organismal aging, with an emphasis on damage prevention and repair for longevity.
The Program in Aging is a consortium that involves Glenn Center investigators who bring diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise to the study of the biology of aging and the determinants of longevity.
Support for the Center comes from the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research, dedicated to extending the healthy productive years of life through research on the mechanisms of biological aging.
The Glenn Center involves faculty members and trainees at the Stanford University School of Medicine, the School of Humanities and Sciences and the School of Engineering. The Glenn Center is closely aligned with the Stanford Center on Longevity and the Stanford Initiative for Brain Resilience and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute.
