Einstein researchers share $9 million grant to find anti-aging therapies

(Albert Einstein College of Medicine) Scientists now believe that the Fountain of Youth flows from our genes, or at least from the genes of people who live healthy lives to age 100 or later. To discover what's special about the genes of centenarians -- and apply that knowledge to extend the healthy lives of the rest of us -- the NIH has awarded researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) a five-year, $9 million grant.
