Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Dr. Vincent Giampapa, founder of the Global Foundation for Human Aging Research, believes specific nutraceuticals and drugs, as well as DNA segments, can be used to alter the gene activity of both somatic cells and stem cells to make them function more optimally during the aging process. He believes this is critical to extend healthspan and delay the onset of diseases of aging, including cancer. His goal with this donation is to explore that hypothesis.
