The LEF is not, to my knowledge, funding or conducting any serious
anti-aging research. They seem to focus their efforts on selling
products of questionable value rather than attempting to develop truly
effective interventions against aging.
The largest source of funding for real anti-aging work is the National
Institute of Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health.
Other organizations that fund serious anti-aging work include:
1) The Leonard & Beryl Buck Trust (funds the Buck Institute)
2) The Ellison Foundation
3) Venture Capital firms (ARCH and Oxford Biosciences are funding
Elixir / Centagenix)
