A healthy metabolism is key to healthy ageing. In this cluster, we ask how we can improve the health of the ageing population.
Using tools from bioscience, psychology, sociology and engineering we seek a better understanding of how changes in metabolism are associated with the ageing process and how we can intervene to promote a healthy later life.
