Research Board

The institutions we read.

We do not have an advisory board of our own. We have something more useful: the published work of the laboratories that define this field. This is the reading list behind every article. It is not an endorsement, an affiliation, or a partnership. We are independent of every group named here.

Harvard Medical School · Sinclair Lab
David Sinclair's lab studies the biology of why we age and whether it can be slowed, including NAD+ metabolism and sirtuins. We cite its work on the biology of aging.
Stanford University · Huberman Lab
Andrew Huberman's lab researches the neuroscience of stress, sleep, and behavior change. We cite it on breathing, circadian light, and stress physiology.
University of Oxford
Oxford runs large human studies on diet, cardiovascular health, and aging. We cite its population-scale evidence where single studies fall short.
University College London
UCL's epidemiology groups follow tens of thousands of people over decades. We cite its cohort work on lifestyle and healthy lifespan.
Salk Institute · Panda Lab
Satchin Panda's lab established much of what is known about circadian rhythm and time-restricted eating. We cite it on meal timing and the body clock.
Buck Institute for Research on Aging
The Buck Institute is dedicated entirely to the science of aging. We cite its work on cellular senescence and healthspan.
Karolinska Institutet
Karolinska, which awards the Nobel Prize in Medicine, publishes rigorous work on metabolism and aging. We cite it for European clinical evidence.
ETH Zürich
ETH Zürich researches mitochondrial biology and the molecular machinery of aging. We cite it on cellular energy and longevity pathways.
Max Planck Institutes
The Max Planck Institutes for the biology of ageing publish foundational work on why organisms age. We cite them for mechanism, not headlines.
