Our theme includes research from pre-conception through to death, with a focus on four priority areas:
- Metabolism - metabolism underpins every biological reaction, and changes in metabolic function can determine a wide range of health outcomes.
- Rare diseases - 1 in 17 people are affected by a rare disease at some point in their lives. Mechanisms for rare diseases can also inform common diseases.
- Drug discovery & therapeutics - this includes repurposing existing drugs, developing new drugs such as senolytics, and other therapies such as gene and cell therapies.
- Health inequalities - healthy ageing is not universal, and populations affected by inequalities are most likely to spend longer in poor health.
