Advisory Board
Gordon is one of the foremost scientists in the Biology of Ageing. He led the identification of pharmacological interventions in aging, prompting many efforts to find compounds that extend lifespan in different animal models. His lab is based at the world-leading Buck Institute for Research on Ageing, of which he also is a vice-president. Gordon serves on many advisory panels, including the National Institute on Aging’s Board of Scientific Councillors and the Chair of Biological Sciences at the Gerontology Society of America. His academic work relies on advanced technologies and industrial partnering to identify disease-relevant compounds that suppress age-related and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
