ageLOC Sneak Peak by Invitation Only Learn how you can take control of how you age……………….. Kai Zen Wellness Center Technical Overview & Demos Wed November 18th @ 7 - 9pm 5410 N. Scottsdale Rd. Suite D-100 Paradise Valley, AZ 85253 480-941-2147 New Research Partnerships Nu Skin announced two key research partnerships with Stanford University and LifeGen Technologies. Researchers at Stanford have focused on profiling gene expression during human development and aging, and have also explored novel modes of gene control in aging skin. Nu Skin's agreement with Stanford aims to increase the understanding of fundamental aging mechanisms in humans by translating insights from basic science into human application. The agreement also includes access to Stanford's expertise in dermatological clinical trials.
Nu Skin will also collaborate with LifeGen in an exclusive agreement by leveraging LifeGen's proprietary methods regarding gene expression profiling and pathways affected by aging. LifeGen was co-founded in November 2000 by Richard Weindruch, Ph.D., and Tomas Prolla, Ph.D., professors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and leaders in the fields of gerontology and genetics. LifeGen's patent for the use of "gene expression profiling" as a method to measure the progression of the aging process at the molecular level in individual organs is expected to be a key component of the partnership. The Nu Skin and Pharmanex labs in Provo, Utah, have been renamed to "Nu Skin Enterprises Center for Anti-aging Research" to focus on the company's premier anti-aging science for development of both personal care and nutritional products. Similarly, the company's scientific advisory boards have been combined to create the Nu Skin Anti-aging Scientific Advisory Board, with the addition of two key scientists, Drs. Weindruch and Prolla from LifeGen Technologies.
