At FASEB, we believe that lifesaving medical breakthroughs begin with research, & that research relies on sustained federal investment. That’s why we’re joining United for Cures’ National Day of Action on Jan. 21! We urge Congress to increase federal funding for research in FY26.
Make Your Voice Heard!
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate have advanced draft spending bills that maintain federal funding for lifesaving medical research.

Why do cells age and stop working? 🧬
This FASEB Journal review shows how tiny chemical “tags” on proteins act like switches that drive cell aging and disease, and how targeting them could lead to new therapies.
