The LI focuses on projects that can be rapidly translated into patient wellness (diet, engineering) as well as projects that have long-term goals (pharmacological, regenerative, engineering).<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe synergism created by the various laboratories from 5 USC Schools is attracting leading scientists interested in a longevity research-centered approach to improve human health. This group has been able to acquire large government and private grants.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bAn additional goal of the Longevity Institute is to educate the community about the latest strategies to protect against aging and prevent the onset of age-related diseases.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Research Units&#8221;
