Impact Circle 2021

Event Registration

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

Welcome to the 2021 Impact Circle Event!

At the Buck, we believe it is possible to prevent age-related disease and to enjoy healthier longevity. Research advances are revealing how a better understanding of the biology of aging can lead to the treatment and prevention of disease. There has never been a more exciting time for Buck research and participating in the Impact Circle brings you up close and personal with this exciting discovery process.  It is an unprecedented chance to follow along closely with a scientific research project and to enjoy exclusive meetings and updates with the scientists themselves over the course of an entire year.

In 2021, our focus will be on brain health and the role proteins play in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and dementia, and will include partnering with two up and coming scientists at the Buck.  Membership to the Impact Circle is $5,000.  This event is open to both Impact Circle members and interested friends.  We look forward to seeing you!
