The Methuselah Foundation is an American-based global non-profit organization based in Springfield, Virginia, with a declared mission to "make 90 the new 50 by 2030" by supporting tissue engineering and regenerative medicine therapies.[1] The organization was originally incorporated by David Gobel in 2001 as the Performance Prize Society, a name inspired by the British government’s Longitude Act, which offered monetary rewards for anyone who could devise a portable, practical solution for determining a ship's longitude.
