Restoring youthful function.
Preventing age-related disease.

We conduct and support rigorous medical research into heart disease, autoimmune conditions, and regenerative approaches that aim to restore healthy function to aging tissues.

Our Research Priorities

The number one cause of suffering and disease is human aging. AIHDA directly funds technologies that are designed to reverse the conditions of old age.

We focus on high-impact areas where scientific advances can meaningfully extend healthy human lifespan.

❤️

Heart Disease

Investigating the drivers of cardiovascular disease, including genetic risk factors such as Lipoprotein(a), with the goal of preventing and reversing heart pathology.

🛡️

Autoimmune Conditions

Supporting research into the mechanisms of autoimmune disease and approaches that may restore healthier immune regulation.

🔄

Tissue Rejuvenation

Exploring strategies to restore youthful function to aged tissues and organs, targeting the biological processes that drive functional decline.

Science in service of longer, healthier lives

The Australian Institute for Heart Disease and Healthy Aging exists to advance rigorous, translational research that addresses the major biological drivers of age-related disease and functional decline.
