The Leibniz Institute for Age Research - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI; German: Das Leibniz-Institut für Alternsforschung – Fritz-Lipmann-Institut) is an extramural research institution located in Jena, Germany. The institute focuses on applied research in the life sciences. It is a member institute of the Leibniz Association. The FLI is the first national research institute dedicated to the study of age research or gerontology. It is located at the Beutenberg Campus.

The institute is named after Fritz Albert Lipmann (1899-1986), the German-American biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1953 for his discovery of Coenzyme A.

History
After the German reunification, the former Central Institute for Microbiology and Experimental Therapy (Zentralinstitut für Mikrobiologie und experimentelle Therapie; ZIMET) of the Academy of Sciences of the German Democratic Republic was essentially divided into two institutions: the Hans Knöll Institute (HKI) and the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology (IMB). The IMB directed research into the areas of evolutionary biotechnology and genomics and from January 1992 belonged to the association of research facilities known as the "Blauen Liste" ("Blue List"), which today is the Leibniz Association.
