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.

Time to up the fish oils? Study in the International Journal of Cancer (IJC) shows those with higher #omega3 had lower rates of colon, stomach and lung #cancer; higher #omega6 lowered rates of 14 cancers including brain and melanoma. Research involved the #UKBiobank. #fishoil #CancerResearch https://lnkd.in/gVkQKBwZ

Healthy #brains can suppress inappropriate #immune responses. Study in mice in Nature Magazine identifies guardian peptides that maintain immune balance and permit healthy communication between the two. Discovery could improve treatments for #MS and #Alzheimers. https://lnkd.in/gNSiMjNR

Fallopian tubes play key roles in both fertility & cancer. We were proud to contribute to 3D model that molecularly, functionally, & architecturally resembles the organ. Hope is to speed breakthroughs for ovarian cancer and endometriosis https://lnkd.in/grb3Qh9H Birgit Schilling
