Welcome to the Institute of Healthy Ageing ...
The Institute is an interdisciplinary centre of excellence for research on the biology of ageing and ageing-related diseases. Our primary purpose is to bring together researchers working on the biology of ageing (biogerontology) with those working to understand the causes of ageing-related disease.
By
merging the two, we aim
to develop a new translational biogerontology using the ageing process
as a point of intervention to protect against the diseases of old age.
Our goal is to improve the health and quality of life for older people.
Our research is sponsored by the following funders, amongst others*, and we are extremely grateful to all of them for their contribution to our work:
* The IHA thanks the above as well as the Alzheimer's Research Trust, the British Society of Haemotology, Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation, the Glenn Foundation, NIH, the Nuffield Foundation and Research into Ageing.
