Aging Research at FLI

We investigate the fundamental mechanisms of aging, striving to uncover its root causes — keeping basic research at the core of transformative science and lasting societal impact.
Prof. Dr. Dario Riccardo Valenzano Scientific Director

Our Mission

We investigate the molecular, cellular, and organismal mechanisms of aging and age-associated disease.

We train the next generation of aging researchers, and we transfer knowledge and innovation into society.

Our Vision

A future in which the biology of aging is understood well enough that age-associated disease is preventable, and people stay healthy through the final decades of life.
