On April 8, 2026, Tohoku University established the Healthspan Research Center (HeSReC), a new interdisciplinary organization aimed at extending healthy lifespan. This center brings together related organizations conducting anti-aging and longevity research at Tohoku University (such as the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, the Graduate School of Medicine, and the Tohoku University Medical Megabank Organization) to conduct research from basic research to clinical application and social implementation in a seamless manner.
