Who are we?
In 2014, LEAF was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting healthy human lifespan through fiscally sponsoring longevity research projects and raising awareness regarding the societal benefits of healthy life extension.
Engaging the public
We host conferences and events to bring researchers, investors, and the general public together to learn about science and business in the biotech sector. In July 2018, we hosted a major conference at the Cooper Union in New York City.
Popularizing science
We collaborate with major Youtube channels to educate and spread the word. For example, in 2017, we worked with popular science channel Kurzgesagt to produce this video about aging seen by over three and a half million viewers.
Proven success
We have successfully funded six important research projects via our science crowdfunding platform Lifespan.io, raising over $200,000 for aging research. This money will help to develop therapies that target the processes of aging.
