SENS Research Foundation

SENS Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and advancing rejuvenation biotechnology—medical interventions designed to repair the cellular and molecular damage that accumulates with age. Founded by biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey, the foundation focuses on seven categories of aging-related damage: nuclear mutations, mitochondrial mutations, cellular senescence, extracellular crosslinks, extracellular aggregates, intracellular aggregates, and telomere shortening.

The foundation operates through a combination of in-house research, grants to external researchers, and collaboration with academic institutions and biotech companies. It has established the SENS Research Center and supports work across multiple disciplines including molecular biology, regenerative medicine, and biotechnology. The organization advocates for treating aging as a treatable medical condition rather than an inevitable process.

SENS has become a prominent voice in the longevity and rejuvenation research space, influencing scientific discourse around aging and attracting both scientific interest and philanthropic support. The foundation publishes research, hosts conferences, and engages in public education about the potential for extending human healthspan through targeted biological interventions.
