scientific progress and the realization of the common good, but it has
yet to deliver on its promises.

Open-Source Practices for Biotechnology
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/technology/10gene.html
this article mentions an australian research group. It also talks about
an organization called BIOS (Biological Innovation for Open Society, or
BIOS)

Here's a book on the topic

huh interesting: "Oracle's Ellison seeking Fountain of Youth"
http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=16159
Ellison is 2nd richest man in the world? in 2001. didn't know that
"He's now the single largest
private supporter of research in aging, and he's opening the spigot
further."
"Big-name venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers has invested in
publicly traded Geron. And Peter Friedli has invested in Osiris
Therapeutics, which works with adult stem cells."
"This month, Friedli joined Oracle to invest in Myriad Genetics, which
researches the human proteome. It is Oracle's first foray into biotech"
"Thomas Johnson, a
University of Colorado geneticist who is trying to extend the lifespan of
mice."
"Extropian, a group of believers in the
idea that genetic engineering will prolong life."
"Ellison Medical Foundation"
"Biology of Aging program at the
National Institute of Aging."
"Cynthia Kenyon, who extended the lifespan of worms 300
percent. She has teamed up with an associate of Arch Venture Capital,
Cindy
Bayley, to form a company called Elixir."

huh there is the maximum life foundation
TA Sciences
Geron
on this maximumlife foundation website, the funding->for profit companies
section does not work. Also the investment opportunities link does not
work

Longevity Inc.there's also the field of biogerontology

this page lists many anti-aging companies: who's who in gerontology
http://whoswho.senescence.info/companies.php

wow there is also a list of people working on aging from around the world
http://whoswho.senescence.info/people.php
here is a GenAge database that has genes related to human ageing
the digital ageing atlas also looks interesting
the guy who initiated the assembly of a lot of this useful information is
Joao Pedro de Magalhaes who has a lab in Liverpool England that does
aging research. He seems committed to aging and open access.
I've heard of Bruce Ames before (also Craig Atwood, Maria Blasco, Mario
Capecchi (spoke at my SUU graduation), George Church, Francis Collins
(director of NIH), Irina Conboy (stem cells, muscle regeneration, and
aging), Aubrey De Grey, De Magalhaes, Joao Pedro (now I know him),
Michael Fossel (focused on telomerase therapies), Leonard Hayflick, David
Kekich, Pat Langley, Jerry Shay (he's at Texas; maybe I interviewed with
him), David Sinclair (resveratrol))
Institute for Aging Research (Vilhelm Bohr is there)
National Institute on Aging is part of the NIH
Elizabeth Blackburn won the Nobel prize for her work on telomerase
Advanced Cell Technology
Kronos Longevity Research Institute (huh that's right here in Phoenix)
Legendary Pharmaceuticals (in Florida)
Telome Health
Buck Institute
GeriGene
huh (Richard Miller works broadly on the genetics and biology of aging in
mice, with a special emphasis on the immune system.)
Max Planck Institute of the Biology of Ageing
Thomas Rando focuses on stem cells at Stanford University
BioTime
Sierra Sciences
International Aging Research Portfolio has another who is who in aging,
and they track aging research. This was started by a Russian I believe.
University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology
actually here is a more recent book by Caleb Finch The Biology of Human
Longevity

"gerontogenes" is a term. I did not know that

s: universities studying aging
Madison Institute on Aging
Duke Center for the Study of Aging
Institute on Aging, University of Virginia
