First center for female reproductive longevity and equality created at the Buck Institute

(Buck Institute for Research on Aging) The Buck Institute announced today that it is establishing the world's first Center for Female Reproductive Longevity and Equality. A $6 million gift from Nicole Shanahan provides seed money for an effort to address an inequality which has existed throughout human history: men can reproduce throughout their lifespan; but women's fertility begins to decline in their early 30's.
