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.

Join us on Monday, Aug 12 at the Buck (or on Zoom) for the Inaugural Judith Campisi Symposium! Cellular Senescence: The Road to Immortality Register today: https://lnkd.in/gG_ZH7RZ This event is dedicated to the remarkable legacy of internationally renowned scientist Judith Campisi, who passed away at the age of 75 on January 19, 2024. Judith Campisi, known affectionately as Judy, held key positions at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her groundbreaking research in senescence and aging reshaped our comprehension of these phenomena. Particularly noteworthy was her shift from cancer to senescence research, which led to pivotal discoveries such as identifying the SA-β-Gal marker for senescent cells. The symposium will continue her legacy and is directed at understanding cell senescence and fate in aging and disease. Speakers include Jan Vijg, Simona Parrinello, Christopher Wiley, Cristina Montagna, Scott Lowe, Norman Sharpless, Thomas Rando, John Sedivy, Junko Oshima, Jennifer Elisseeff, Patty Lee, Fabrizio d'Adda di Fagagna, Lisa Ellerby, Paul Robbins, Yousin Suh, Birgit Schilling, Pura Munoz-Canoves, Miranda Orr

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
