The Buck Institute is the nation’s first and foremost non-profit research organization devoted to Geroscience, which is focused on the connection between normal aging and chronic disease. Our creative, interdisciplinary approach involves collaborations between laboratories studying:

• The mechanisms of aging
• Age-related diseases
• Stem cell technologies and regenerative medicine

Buck scientists strive to discover new ways of detecting, preventing, delaying and treating age-related conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, cancer, cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration, diabetes and stroke.
