Future of Aging

Globally, the number of people aged 60 and older is projected to grow from 900 million today to more than 2 billion by mid-century. With shifts in employment, retirement norms, healthcare delivery, family structures, and other economic and social determinants, the future of aging will be different for individuals, families, businesses, communities, and government agencies. Now is the time for all entities to plan – and act.

Today's biomedical research system is often siloed, bureaucratic, and too slow to meet the needs of patients across the globe. We accelerate biomedical science and innovation to remove unnecessary barriers so that lifesaving and life-enhancing treatments can reach those who need them as rapidly and as safely as possible.
