Summer Scholars at the SENS Research Foundation

Every year a group of exceptional young scientists come to work on projects at the SENS Research Foundation in California and in allied laboratories around the country. Producing the rejuvenation therapies of tomorrow is a project that will last for decades: the researchers who will lead companies and academic laboratories into the final stretches to produce the first comprehensive rejuvenation toolkit are still undergraduates and postgraduates today, just starting their careers. It is a very exciting time to be in biotechnology. It is of great importance that today's leaders in the field of aging research do better than their predecessors when it comes to presenting their field as the groundbreaking, revolutionary, exciting place that it will be over the next twenty years. The world is changing, biotechnology is advancing at a breakneck pace, and the medicine of ten or twenty years from now will look like science fiction already. Radical new possibilities are on the horizon, and doors are opening. Today's scientists must cultivate a next generation of researchers who see aging as the most important medical condition yet be treated in earnest, and who find the new tools for producing those future treatments to be exciting: worth devoting a career to. Hence advocacy and progress isn't just about getting the job done today and raising the funds for today's researchers, but it is also about creating the research community of tomorrow.
