LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute lost a good friend and scientific partner when Paul F. Glenn passed away on September 29, 2020, at his home in Montecito, California. He was 89.<\/p>\n

Glenn was an attorney by education, and had a fruitful career as a commodities trader. After the loss of his grandparents, Glenn founded the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research in 1965. His philanthropic focus was ahead of its time: to fund research that would lead to treatments and therapies to extend the quality of a person\u2019s health during their lifetime.<\/p>\n

His generous financial support allowed the Glenn Foundation to establish Paul F. Glenn Centers for the Biology of Aging Research not only at the Salk Institute, but also at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, the Mayo Clinic, Princeton, Einstein College of Medicine, University of Michigan and the Buck Institute. The Glenn Foundation has funded more than $100 million in basic research since its inception.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout Paul\u2019s support in the field of aging research, I doubt our program at the Salk Institute would have matured as it has,\u201d says Professor Jan Karlseder<\/a>, director of Salk\u2019s Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging Research and holder of the Donald and Darlene Shiley Chair. \u201cHe was a true visionary who definitely left the world a better place. Aging research owes a debt of gratitude for his commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salk\u2019s Glenn Center<\/a> was established in January 2009 with a $5 million award from the Glenn Foundation. The Center draws from 13 of Salk\u2019s leading laboratories specializing in telomere biology, stem cell biology and metabolism research to address the overarching goal of defining a healthy life span, or health span, and to answer one of the most elusive questions in biology: Is there a defined biological process of aging that is universal to all organisms? The work enabled by Salk\u2019s Glenn Center continues to pave the way for new insights into age-related decline, such as Alzheimer\u2019s, cancer and much more.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaul leaves behind a tremendous legacy,\u201d says Professor Vicki Lundblad<\/a>, associate director of Salk\u2019s Glenn Center and holder of the Becky and Ralph S. O’Connor Chair. \u201cHis generosity and forward-thinking mindset have allowed scientists\u2014not only here at Salk, but around the country\u2014to pursue high-risk, high-reward research that has led to significant breakthroughs in improving human health.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Salk Institute extends its condolences to the Glenn family and the Glenn Foundation. To learn more about Glenn\u2019s life and impact, visit this In Memoriam page.<\/p>\n
