most open (source) biotech universities or companies (studying aging)

s: most open biotech here's a nature paper (Open biotechnology: licenses needed) description: Open biotechnology may be the ideal solution to ensure scientific progress and the realization of the common good, but it has yet to deliver on its promises.

Open-Source Practices for Biotechnology http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/technology/10gene.html this article mentions an australian research group. It also talks about an organization called BIOS (Biological Innovation for Open Society, or BIOS)

Here's a book on the topic Biobazaar: The Open Source Revolution and Biotechnology [Hardcover] http://www.amazon.com/Biobazaar-Open-Source-Revolution-Biotechnology/dp/0674026357

s: most open biotech universities s: most open biotech companies Industry continues dabbling with open innovation models it looks like a lot of companies are already trying some open initiatives out

s: most open biotech companies studying aging huh interesting: "Oracle's Ellison seeking Fountain of Youth" http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=16159 Ellison is 2nd richest man in the world? in 2001. didn't know that "He's now the single largest private supporter of research in aging, and he's opening the spigot further." "Big-name venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers has invested in publicly traded Geron. And Peter Friedli has invested in Osiris Therapeutics, which works with adult stem cells." "This month, Friedli joined Oracle to invest in Myriad Genetics, which researches the human proteome. It is Oracle's first foray into biotech" "Thomas Johnson, a University of Colorado geneticist who is trying to extend the lifespan of mice." "Extropian, a group of believers in the idea that genetic engineering will prolong life." "Ellison Medical Foundation" "Biology of Aging program at the National Institute of Aging." "Cynthia Kenyon, who extended the lifespan of worms 300 percent. She has teamed up with an associate of Arch Venture Capital, Cindy Bayley, to form a company called Elixir."

s: biotech companies studying aging huh there is the maximum life foundation TA Sciences Geron on this maximumlife foundation website, the funding->for profit companies section does not work. Also the investment opportunities link does not work

Longevity Inc.there's also the field of biogerontology

this page lists many anti-aging companies: who's who in gerontology http://whoswho.senescence.info/companies.php

wow there is also a list of people working on aging from around the world http://whoswho.senescence.info/people.php here is a GenAge database that has genes related to human ageing the digital ageing atlas also looks interesting the guy who initiated the assembly of a lot of this useful information is Joao Pedro de Magalhaes who has a lab in Liverpool England that does aging research. He seems committed to aging and open access. I've heard of Bruce Ames before (also Craig Atwood, Maria Blasco, Mario Capecchi (spoke at my SUU graduation), George Church, Francis Collins (director of NIH), Irina Conboy (stem cells, muscle regeneration, and aging), Aubrey De Grey, De Magalhaes, Joao Pedro (now I know him), Michael Fossel (focused on telomerase therapies), Leonard Hayflick, David Kekich, Pat Langley, Jerry Shay (he's at Texas; maybe I interviewed with him), David Sinclair (resveratrol)) Institute for Aging Research (Vilhelm Bohr is there) National Institute on Aging is part of the NIH Elizabeth Blackburn won the Nobel prize for her work on telomerase Advanced Cell Technology Kronos Longevity Research Institute (huh that's right here in Phoenix) Legendary Pharmaceuticals (in Florida) Telome Health Buck Institute GeriGene huh (Richard Miller works broadly on the genetics and biology of aging in mice, with a special emphasis on the immune system.) Max Planck Institute of the Biology of Ageing Thomas Rando focuses on stem cells at Stanford University BioTime Sierra Sciences International Aging Research Portfolio has another who is who in aging, and they track aging research. This was started by a Russian I believe. University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology actually here is a more recent book by Caleb Finch The Biology of Human Longevity

"gerontogenes" is a term. I did not know that
