OUR CAUSES
HOW CAN YOU HELP
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.

The Sinclair Lab, Harvard Medical School
Scientists at the Sinclair Lab study the processes that fuel aging and age-related diseases and work toward discovering methods for slowing down or reversing these processes. It is run by Harvard Medical School geneticist and aging researcher Dr. David Sinclair, who Dr. Giampapa believes is unraveling the mysteries of aging. The lab’s work ranges from dissecting novel pathways and identifying target genes, to assessing small molecules that may slow the pace of aging and increase health span.
