The Maximon Longevity Prize
The Maximon Longevity Prize for Translational Research awards outstanding breakthrough research in the field of longevity that can be translated for clinical or non-clinical applications and has the potential to substantially increase health span or life span of humans.
The award focuses on research that already has a proof of concept in pre-clinical lab studies to have a significant impact on the health optimization or longevity.
