BuckInstitute

The Buck Institute is the nation's first independent research facility focused solely on understanding the connection between aging and chronic disease. Our mission is to increase the healthy years of life. World-class scientists work in a uniquely collaborative environment to understand how normal aging contributes to the development of conditions specifically associated with getting older such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, cancer, stroke, osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, macular degeneration and glaucoma. Our interdisciplinary approach brings scientists from disparate fields together to develop diagnostic tests and treatments to prevent or delay these maladies.
