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.

We had another FULL house yesterday for our community seminar: How close are we to real treatments for neurodegenerative diseases? Four Buck PhDs who study neurodegeneration (Manish Chamoli, PhD Edward Anderton, PhD Minna Schmidt Chaska W. ) sat on a panel with our Senior Director of Communications, Kris Rebillot, to discuss the incredible research we are doing at Buck to solve the underlying causes of age related diseases like #Parkinsons and #Alzheimers. This was the 4th seminar in a series of community seminars Buck is hosting. Next one is Aug 7. Register now! https://lnkd.in/gxJMMKHJ

Our #bones play an underappreciated role in overall health. Dysfunction in bone health and bone signaling has been linked to #neurodegenerative diseases, #diabetes and #obesity. Our new blog post focuses on the Birgit Schilling lab’s efforts to get “down to the bone.” Check it out. https://lnkd.in/g58a6ERp
