Biogerontology Research Foundation ^Platforms

The Biogerontology Research Foundation is the UK’s leading non-profit focused on Longevity and on expediting the coming paradigm shift from disease treatment to personalised precision prevention. It was the main initial donor that provided financial and organisational support to Longevity International UK for the purpose of establishing the APPG for Longevity. It was also actively involved in the successful initiative of adding a new extension code for “ageing-related diseases” accepted in 2018 by the World Health Organization during the last revisions of its International Classification of Diseases framework - the closest any group has come to classifying ageing as a disease. It has been working since 2008 to develop the UK’s Longevity Industry and the field of Geroscience (The Science of Longevity) to a level of mainstream prominence and recognition since 2008 -- nearly a decade before the Longevity Industry rose to its current state of acceptance by the mainstream investors, the global scientific community, the public and the media landscape. While the topic of Longevity is now accepted by even the most conservative industry, scientific and media professionals, it took tireless years of work to achieve, and the Biogerontology Research Foundation has been at the forefront of these developments.
