The Party for Biomedical Rejuvenation Research (German: Partei für schulmedizinische Verjüngungsforschung), formerly the Party for Health Research (German: Partei für Gesundheitsforschung|links=no), is a single-issue political party in Germany that seeks to accelerate the development of medicine to reverse the aging process.
The Party for Biomedical Rejuvenation Research is a single-issue political party in Germany founded in 2015 with the goal of accelerating the development of regenerative medicine against aging, enabling people to live indefinitely long healthy lives. According to the party, their purpose is to prevent the suffering caused by age-related disease and death. Besides that, the party also highlights the economic benefit of curing aging, as the costs for age-related illness and care would be eliminated.[2] The party seeks to increase the number and size of pertinent research facilities, and to expand education and training of professionals in those fields. The party also strives to raise public interest in rejuvenation research in order to cause large established parties to focus more on this subject.

As of July 2022, the party has regional branches in all 16 German states.[4]
