Another full house at the Buck today! Reimagining Life’s “Third Act” with guest Louise Aronson, MD, MFA, Professor, University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Aronson challenges conventional ideas about aging and explores how we can rethink what she calls “elderhood”.

Buck scientist Taylor Valentino is helping advance research that could change how we understand aging. But changes in NIH funding are putting important scientific discoveries at risk. Stand with Buck science! Give today!

The #ovary doesn’t retire after #menopause. A Buck–Northwestern study of ovarian tissue from 28 women found ongoing changes in proteins, inflammation and tissue structure, raising new questions about women’s health as they age.

Excited to co-lead SEEDS with @Georgetown, supported by @ARPA_H!
This ambitious collaboration aims to predict harmful protein changes linked to disease.
More Monday on the science, researchers and partners!

Proteins are the tiny molecule machines that keep our cells working.

When they misfold, cell function is disrupted which can lead to devastating disease.

ARPA-H’s BIOGAMI teams are targeting that early window by decoding how proteins misfold and finding ways to steer them back on course.

Earlier intervention could open new paths for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and more.

We had a fabulous Formal Research Seminar today at the Buck! Dr. Peter Adams @AdamsBioAging was our guest speaker today, visiting us from @sbpdiscovery in La Jolla. It was an exciting seminar on epigenetics, cancer and aging. We look forward to having you back soon Dr. Adams!

Changes at the NIH have resulted in the loss of $11 million in grant funding that was expected to come to Buck. We need your help to keep vital research moving forward.

Stand with our scientists. Stand with Buck Science. 💛

Science can’t wait.

NIH funding to the Buck has declined 42% since FY2025, a loss of $11M for critical basic science research. #StandWithBuckScience is our call to help keep discoveries moving forward.
