Life expectancy is improving at an unprecedented rate around the world. Yet, a significant challenge remains. Age is the biggest risk factor for many of the most serious chronic diseases facing society today. 

The incidence of Alzheimer’s, heart disease, lung disease, musculoskeletal decline and cancer all rise significantly with age – they are diseases arising from cellular degeneration, dysfunction and decline.

By 2050, an estimated 1 in 6 people globally will be aged 65 years or older. It is imperative that new strategies are developed to limit the growing burden of disease and improve quality of life for all.

Our researchers are harnessing the power of advanced cellular and molecular investigation to better understand the ageing process and prevent the onset of age-related disease. 

But we need your help.
