Our mission and values are reflected in our World Health Initiative: As a global society our economies will suffer. We are dedicated to averting the pending global aging crisis in the pursuit of personnel, sciences and processes to develop therapies that restore knowledge and productivity.We foster collaborations and education that expedite and advance science towards interventions to retard, arrest, and even, reverse the damage of aging. We invoke solutions to the human, social and economic burdens of our aging population… and advocate open, informed discussion about the challenges and opportunities ahead.

As a non-profit, we ensure our unbiased independence from economic, political and business interests. We invite the participation of any nation, institution, enterprise, or person with a contributing piece of the puzzle. LifeStar Institute is a cooperative, not a competitive, venture… to benefit all mankind.

The LifeStar Institute was established to accelerate the development of solutions to this mounting aging crisis through extraordinary leadership, collaboration and advocacy.   Our strategy is to examine the health technology and development and delivery process to determine all the technological and social barriers standing in the way of capitalizing on new breakthroughs that have the promise of preventing and curing degenerative disease.

The health technology development and delivery process is well known, as are many of the barriers  in which we are interested.  They are many and varied ranging from the obvious lack of resources for basic research, to the barriers imposed by outdated and absent effective and transparent communication amongst all the players.  Most importantly and key to addressing all the shortcomings of health technology development and delivery is responsible public education about the true state of the science.  As the late Robert Butler, Founding Director of the National Institute on Aging has stated many times,  “this is truly a wondrous moment in human history” when it comes to the potential for the development of late-life interventions in aging.   It is now almost irresponsible to not communicate the exponential progress that is being achieved on many fronts which can allow the public to hope for rapid development of late-life aging interventions and give governments permission to allocate the necessary resources.

We are building a global team of elite professionals and academics who can address these well-known barriers.   This team will collaborate in new ways for our common good in a synthesis that transcends traditional boundaries between disciplines, institutions and countries.  They will create an integrated plan based on the best scientific evidence available to drive the development of late-life aging interventions and mitigate the problems of global aging through global cooperation.

As an example of this process, we have convened our first “meeting of minds” to address the question “Does the scientific evidence exist to indicate that late-life interventions in aging are possible, not just to slow the process down, but to reverse it?”.  The answer provided by these eminent individuals to this question, we are gratified to report, is one that has never before been given and that is “Yes!” the aging process is for the first time in scientific history, an “approachable challenge”.  We move forward now to recruit even more experts and professionals to begin to flesh out the strategy comfortable that our whole premise is backed by the best minds in aging research.

Today, we have grown from a small founding group to an organization, recognized internationally by leading academics, scientists, research groups, journalists and publishers. Together from LifeStar Institute’s inception, our leadership team maintains its unwavering passion and commitment to create a concerted, focused, competent, and fully-funded effort to finish the development of the complete set of therapies and protocols that will maximize healthspan.
