We focus our research on understanding the mechanisms of ageing to help us treat age-related diseases and find ways to foster successful ageing.<\/p>

Our investigation into the science of ageing involves identifying, understanding and manipulating common pathways that modulate ageing. We develop biomarkers to measure ageing, as well as design and test interventions to slow ageing. This allows us to create personalised implementation strategies that can extend healthy life expectancy.<\/p>

Through our collaborative research, we drive innovations that can prevent ageing as well as help seniors better cope with ageing. This paves the way for better health and quality of life for the silver generation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This programme strives to advance the frontiers of ageing research in Singapore through cutting-edge science. We bring together a multidisciplinary team comprising clinician-scientists, researchers and industry collaborators from Singapore and abroad, leveraging their complementary skills to shape the agenda on healthy ageing in Singapore.<\/p>

Building upon knowledge gained in the lab, we carry out clinical trials to accelerate the translation of novel interventions into real-world solutions for human application. These are aimed at inspiring best practices, reducing healthcare costs and improving the quality of ageing.<\/p>

We hope to nurture, mentor and train the next generation of scientists to engage in high-calibre research in ageing and age-related diseases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
