Organization Overview
The Buck Institute is a pioneer in research on aging and a global leader in the field of age-related bioscience. Founded in 1999, the Buck became the world’s only research institution singularly focused on the biology of aging, yielding insights into age-related diseases before they start. The Institute attracts scientists from a variety of disciplines to attack the problem from all sides because the answers we are after won’t come from a single field. To enhance this profound mission, the Buck worked with world-renowned architect I.M. Pei to create a campus that literally would not allow their researchers to work in silos and optimize the beauty of their Northern California coastal campus.
The success of the Institute's science will ultimately change healthcare for all. With the aim of ending the threat of age-related diseases for this and future generations, the Institute brings together the most capable and passionate scientists from a broad range of disciplines to identify and impede the ways in which people age. This is an independent, non-profit institution located in Marin County, CA, that works every day with the goal of increasing human health span and the healthy years of life. Globally recognized as the pioneer and leader in efforts to target aging—the number one risk factor for diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease, and diabetes—the Buck Institute seeks to help people live better longer.
They are an equal opportunity employer and strive to create an atmosphere where diversity of identity, experience, and background are welcomed, valued, and supported.
