What types of organizations support anti-aging studies?

Aubrey de Grey (Chairman, Methuselah Foundation) gives expert video advice on: What is 'Resveratrol'?; Why are blueberries pomegranates and dark chocolate considered 'brain food'?; How relevant are my genes in determining my longevity? and more...

At the moment, there are not nearly enough organizations out there supporting work to actually combat aging. The foundation that I run, the Methuselah Foundation, of which I am the chairman and the Chief Science Officer, is probably the main one that is really focusing on the development of future therapies that will really combat aging. There are, of course, plenty of studies going on around the world which are more indirectly focused on the eventual, hopeful development of anti-aging therapies. Essentially, all work with envirogerantology within the study of understanding aging is with an eventual hope that that understanding will lead us to be able to develop therapies. But that's a much more indirect approach than the approach that the Methuselah Foundation is taking. Then of course, there are people who sell existing products that really don't work very well at all yet and who are interested in improving the efficacy of those products by finding better ways to do things. So there are some companies, for example, trying to find analogs of Retheritrol that work much better than Retheritrol. And some people think that those things might be effective against human aging.
