Centre for Healthy Ageing

Healthy ageing is the idea of prolonging wellbeing by developing and maintaining your abilities throughout our life course. A person’s wellbeing incorporates physical, mental and social health. 

About the centre

The Healthy Ageing Centre focuses on understanding what drives cellular ageing and how this biological process causes disease. We use this information to treat and aid the prevention of diseases of ageing including sarcopenia, frailty, dementia, liver failure to promote health ageing.

Laboratories

The laboratories operating within this centre are:

  • Gamble

    The Vascular Biology program seeks to understand the ageing process on the function of blood vessels and the impact on the development of disease. Ultimately the work may help us “age better”.
  • Philp

    Musculoskeletal conditions have been estimated to affect 1.71 billion people globally.
  • Seth

    The Alcoholic Liver Disease research program includes studies on genetics of alcoholic cirrhosis and molecular mechanisms underlying liver disease. By identifying biomarkers for alcohol use and liver injury, we utilise transcriptomics, lipid and miRNA profiling to find treatment targets and pathways.
