For 30+ years, UT Health San Antonio’s Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging has led aging research. New The National Institute on Aging (NIA) funding helps to keep it going. “Not every place in the U.S. has the density of aging researchers like we do at UT Health San Antonio,” says Adam

New research identifies a possible solution to living longer. UT Health San Antonio led the first national review of the NIH’s Interventions Testing Program, identifying 13 compounds that may extend lifespan. Rapamycin showed the strongest effect: bit.ly/47anPhM
