Life extension

Life-extension research seeks to slow, halt, or reverse biological aging to extend healthy human lifespan, through drugs, cellular reprogramming, senolytics, metabolic interventions, and genetic approaches.

Why it matters

Treating aging as the root cause would prevent most chronic disease at once and extend healthy years — one of ASIZ's defining long-horizon goals.

Where it stands

Interventions extend lifespan in animals and improve some human biomarkers; robust human rejuvenation is unproven.

How ASIZ approaches it

The discovery loop, applied.

Through the Living Systems center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at life extension: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
