ACCOMPLISHMENTS
A4M serves as an advocate for the new clinical specialty of anti-aging medical science and acts as a conduit to physicians, scientists, and the educated public who wish to benefit from the almost daily breakthroughs in biotechnology which promise both a greater quality as well as quantity of life. The A4M is the:
•First to create the anti-aging medical movement.
•Founder of the world’s fastest-growing medical specialty.
•Leading provider of university academic co-sponsored medical education in the field.
•Recognized leadership for a $295 billion marketplace
Nearly 3 decades ago, the founding members of the A4M predicted the shift in the global demographics towards a worldwide greying trend, and the organization forged a model for clinical healthcare to advance preventive healthcare by applying cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. An array of life-enhancing, life-extending achievements for human longevity has since resulted. World-renowned speakers at the A4M’s Annual Congresses on Anti-Aging Medicine have debuted breakthrough findings that include:

ADOPTION
Today, multinational companies are pouring billions of dollars into anti-aging medical technologies. In particular, Silicon Valley has engaged significant resources: each of these megacorporations proudly equates themselves with “anti-aging.” As such, the phrase “anti-aging” is now poised for transformation from a disparaged term to one of prestige and dominance.
Google backs privately held 23andMe, which offers a DNA test for consumers who can secure genetic reports and ancestry-related data. In 2013 by Google’s CEO and co-founder, Larry Page – 40 years old at the time, founded Calico (California Life Company) with $1 billion in start-up funding. Describing its goal as “focusing on the challenge of aging and associated diseases.” Page has observed that: “With some longer term, moonshot thinking around healthcare and biotechnology, I believe we can improve millions of lives.”1 Calico is headed by Art Levinson, former CEO of Genetech, a highly successful biotech company specializing in cancer therapies.
In mid-2014, Calico forged a 10-year R&D collaboration deal with AbbVie Inc., a major US drugmaker (notably, Humira®, a rheumatoid arthritis biologic).2 Each company is reported to invest an initial $250 million, with a possible additional $500 million in the future. Using this funding, Calico will use its scientific expertise to establish
