About us
Novato’s Buck Institute is the largest independent scientific institute in the Bay Area. The Buck aims to end the threat of age-related diseases for this and future generations by bringing together the most capable and passionate scientists from a broad range of disciplines to identify and impede the ways in which we age. Its goal is to increase human healthspan, or the healthy years of life. Globally recognized as the pioneer and leader in efforts to target aging, the number one risk factor for serious diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease, and diabetes, the Buck wants to help people live better longer.

Our Buck Speakers Bureau is rocking the Bay Area and beyond! Our speakers are made up of our working scientists who speak about the research they are currently doing at Buck to help extend the healthy years of life. Dr. Bijoya Sen, a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Hansen lab, spoke this morning to over 50 members of the Sunrise Rotary Club of Santa Rosa. Interested in hosting one of our scientists from Buck at your next meeting or event? Contact us at communications@buckinstitute.org

Read labels! There is more evidence that the popular sugar substitute #erythritol raises #cardiovascular risk. Study at Cleveland Clinic shows the chemical makes platelets more active which can raise the risk of clots. #Sugar didn’t have the same effect. https://lnkd.in/gSzkpi4c
