Make more
time possible
Norn Group is a do tank for industrializing longevity. We articulate a strategy for field acceleration, back big-if-true research, and align top talent towards key bottlenecks to making medicines for longer, healthier lives.
Our projects
We identify bottlenecks and develop projects that could make each cycle of longevity research more productive than the last.
Impetus Grants
Impetus backs big-if-true longevity research with fast grants, including work too speculative for government funding and too early for company formation. We’ve deployed $34M across 146 projects.
For example:
- Bowhead whales: a protein from these 200-year-lived mammals improved DNA repair in human cells.
- VIBRANT: a randomized trial testing whether rapamycin can slow ovarian aging.
- PanSci: an open atlas of 21.8 million mouse cells, mapping aging across 14 organs.
Writing & resources
We share the tools we use to analyze field challenges and opportunities, to boost work across the ecosystem and accelerate learning for fresh talent and companies.
People
of Norn
We expand and empower the talent pool motivated to accelerate progress on longevity.
Our impact
Our efforts have led to new breakthroughs, new clinical trials, new companies, new labs working on longevity, and new understanding of what an industrialized version of the longevity field would look like.
