Gerontology Research Group ^{Research Labs}

The Gerontology Research Group (GRG) was founded in 1990 by L. Stephen Coles, MD PhD, and other physicians and scientists at UCLA, Cal-Tech and elsewhere. Its mission is to slow and ultimately reverse age-related decline for more healthy years of life. GRG is the foremost authority on the world's oldest humans -- specifically supercentenarian research, authentication and database. This division is managed by Robert Young who leads a group of international researchers. GRG is cited by the Guinness Book of World Records and often quoted in newspapers. A major asset and central communication hub is the email discussion forum (list service).
