The research consortium IMPULS aims to identify how biological age is defined, and which factors can influence aging process in humans.
Aging Research

This range of topics has to do with the biomedical research of human aging, a multifactorial process which is influenced by the environment and genetic factors. The goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms which underlie the human process of aging and lead to age-related diseases. The research is laying the scientific foundation for the development of therapies that contribute to a healthy human aging process and the avoidance of age-related diseases.
