The Glenn Center for Aging Research was established in January 2009 with a $5 million gift from the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research. Led by Dr. Andrew Dillin, the Center draws from nine of Salk's leading laboratories specializing in genetic analysis, stem cell biology and metabolism research to address the overarching goal of defining a healthy lifespan, or healthspan, and answer one of the most elusive questions in biology: Is there a defined biological process of aging that is universal to all organisms?

The Paul F. Glenn Laboratories are dedicated to understanding the mechanisms of normal aging and thereby extending the healthy years of human life.
Glenn Laboratory for the Science of Aging, in operation since 1982. The lab is currently located in MIT’s Koch Biology Building. We work on mechanisms of aging so that people may lead healthier lives. -Leonard P. Guarente, Ph.D.
The Glenn Center for Aging Research will strengthen Salk’s focus to contribute scientific discoveries that can promote healthy aging for humanity.
The new Paul F. Glenn Laboratories for the Biology of Aging at Stanford University School of Medicine explores how stem cells change as an individual ages and how that contributes to the development of age-related diseases and disorders.
