About

The research on lifestyle and biological factors related to healthy ageing in populations at particular risk is a massive opportunity to sustain new clinical, therapeutic and social interventions.

By understanding the biology of the ageing process, we work to produce evidence-based interventions that have the potential to reduce the incidence of most, if not all, age-related diseases together and to seriously enhance healthy life expectancy.
