Healthy Longevity
NUS Healthy Longevity TRP
The healthy longevity programme aims to bring together scientists and clinicians to investigate the multifaceted aspects of ageing in an effort to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the biology of ageing, and to add healthy years of life by delaying ageing, prolonging disease-free life and adding quality by allowing people to be more active and engaged. This can be accomplished through synergizing basic and clinical science, promoting collaborations that develop biomarkers to measure ageing, test interventions to slow ageing and creating personalized implementation strategies to extend healthy life expectancy in Singapore. The programme seeks to identify, understand and manipulate common pathways that modulate ageing and then to seek methods for translation to humans. This will pave the way to ameliorate the ageing process and increase health as people increase in years.The programme focuses on four main themes and eight platforms, as well as a clinical arm to translate research into novel interventions in humans. This will address the core pathways that control the ageing process and age-related conditions which are of particular significance to Singapore, and provide the programme with a comprehensive strategy to understand how ageing precipitates chronic conditions that account for the majority of morbidity in Singapore and globally.
