Wellcome LeapDynamic Resilience
Wellcome Leap and Singapore's Temasek Trust launched a $60M, three-year program on why older people recover well or badly from stress. It funds work on predictive markers, on the causes of frailty, and on treatments given before predictable stresses such as surgery. The target is a 25% cut in frailty progression.
- Budget: $60M over three years
- Three goals: resilience markers, frailty mechanisms, preventive treatments
- Target: 25% slower frailty progression
- Leap estimates 71,000 fall-related hospital stays and 8,000 deaths a year could be avoided in the US
