Research Laboratories
Investigating the whole ageing process
With our research we want to make basic scientific discoveries about mechanisms driving ageing and investigate which factors promote healthy ageing. The complementary expertise in the departments of the directors and the various research groups allows us to study the aging process on a broad basis.
