Help to Support LongeCity Affiliate Labs
The LongeCity community is presently building a small fund from philanthropic donations in order to help support a selection of affliate laboratories involved in the development of therapies to treat aging as a medical condition. In the past, LongeCity has done a good job of funding small research projects in the field, and this is a worthy continuation of such efforts. Even modest amounts of funding can help to smooth the development and validation of early stage research in the field. If you have a little money to spare, please do consider making a donation.
The LongeCity Affiliate Labs are small, research-focused enterprises or independent academic research groups led by a scientists with strong ties to the LongeCity community and a proven track record of commitment to scientific inquiry directly relevant to the LongeCity mission. These leaders and their colleagues are not just trailblazers in advancing important areas of regenerative and rejuvenation research, but also incredibly helpful when there is a community need for peer review, when providing advice and training to a young scientist, and in providing the expertise and tools to test the novel, controversial, or promising scientific leads sourced from the LongeCity community and beyond.
There is a small support fund that the labs can draw on to flexibly support their research activities. While not a substitute for private investment and public sector grants, the ability to flexibly try out a new idea without needing to assemble lengthy proposals to funding bodies can be an invaluable accelerator to research progress. All Affiliates have an active link to the LongeCity community, so there is a level of accountability and responsiveness beyond anything encountered in traditional research donations. By donating to the Affiliate Labs fund, Members can be assured that every penny goes directly to an expert personally and professionally committed to making a difference in the scientific conquest of death. Current affiliate labs are: Alexandra Stolzing, Loughborough University, UK and Leipzig University, Germany; João Pedro de Magalhães, University of Liverpool, UK; Kelsey Moody, Ichor Therapeutics, USA; Kevin Perrott, Buck Institute, USA; Matthew O'Connor, SENS Research Foundation, USA.
