Some methods to accomplish our goals:

Conventional pharmaceuticals
Stem Cell Therapies   -- Stem cells differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types will be used to repair damaged tissues. Recent evidence that certain cells from adults may hold much of the curative potential previously believed unique to embryonic stem cells
Genetic engineering -- Modifying and enhancing DNA
Drugs that mimic caloric restriction -- So far restricting caloric intake is the only method shown to increase lifespan in animals. A calorimemetic would mimic this effect without restricting the diet
Nutraceuticals -- Foods with medicinal properties
Eventually, advanced methods like nanotechnology and artificial intelligence  -- “Nanobots” are tiny molecular machines that will repair cells and DNA, and artificial intelligence is the use of computers that mimic the thought processes of humans to solve complex biological (and other) problems

What We’ll Do First:

Specify and award grants for projects identified as having highest priority
Ongoing project review and management
Continue to review the work of organizations involved in the development of, or closely related to, aging therapeutics for which to award research grants.
AIF will be a central hub, repository and clearinghouse of scientific aging-intervention information
AIF will facilitate communication and collaboration among people and organizations

How We’ll Do This

     We’ll accomplish these goals by creating strategic partnerships with world class organizations. The AIF will provide the vision, clearly defined project plan and goals, specific technical expertise and money. All teams will be racing together toward the common goal of greatly extending and improving our lifespan, and the quality of our lives. Some representative organizations we will partner with (note: all organizations will pass through a comprehensive due diligence process)
