UK Longevity Directory

163 organisations across 12 functional categories

01Overview

One national map, organised by function

A consolidated map of the United Kingdom's healthy longevity landscape, separated by function: geroscience laboratories, gerontology and population-ageing institutes, NHS research units, preventive and longevity clinics, therapeutic biotechnology, AgeTech, charities, policy bodies and population cohorts.

The broadest public directories are the UKAgeNet member directory, the British Society of Gerontology centre directory, Age UK's research-centre list and the Longevity Platform mission database. UKAgeNet describes itself as connecting more than 70 national centres, institutes, networks and research groups.

Clinics and companies listed here are commercial providers rather than research institutes. Services, claims, clinician qualifications and evidence standards differ, so each entry should be assessed independently. Some aggregated databases are partly AI-compiled and should be verified before relying on individual records.
