MMC Anti-Aging Research Institute
Embedded at UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences
A national-grade lab with a multidisciplinary research team. During the pandemic our network supported testing for hundreds of thousands of residents; long-term we focus on research-grade work in cellular-immune and anti-aging regenerative topics. Findings are shared through partner-clinic channels and member communications, and do not constitute medical advice to members or readers.

This page promotes the MMC Longevity Club — a private membership for longevity wellness, advisory, and lifestyle services. It is NOT covered by Canadian public health insurance (MSP) and does NOT replace your family physician or the public-care system. Specific medical aesthetic and functional-medicine procedures referenced here are delivered independently by partner clinics (RAAC, SkinArt MD, MMC Wellness Group) under standard Canadian regulatory care; members receive scheduling and coordination support only.
