👉 The Aging Project is an international initiative aimed at understanding the biological processes of aging and developing interventions to extend healthspan—the period of life spent in good health. It involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining genetics, biochemistry, and systems biology to identify key mechanisms that contribute to aging. Researchers from various institutions collaborate globally to study model organisms like yeast, worms, flies, and mice, as well as human cells and tissues. By pinpointing these mechanisms, the project seeks to develop therapies that can delay or reverse age-related diseases, ultimately improving quality of life and longevity.
