Why do some people live to their 100th birthday, and even beyond?

How do these "oldest old" escape the ravages of life- threatening diseases?


We believe the answer lies in the GENES of these fortunate individuals. Welcome to our website, where you
can learn about our research:

 The Longevity Genes Project (for ages 95 )
Searching for Longevity Genes in the HistoricallyUnique Jewish Ashkenazi Population

                                                                             AND

LonGenity (for ages 65 )
The Genotypes and Phenotypes for Exceptional Longevity 

We invite you to read more about our research and about Dr. Nir Barzilai, director of this potentially life-changing research.
