Time: Friday June 30, 14h-16h Place: *room * *D.1.07*, building D, VUB ------------------------------ New developments in the science of aging and longevity: how to live longer, healthier Kris Verburgh Abstract: This talk will focus on the latest developments in biogerontology, the science of aging. Recent studies will be discussed in which aging was not only retarded, but even partially reversed in lab animals. The reversibility of the aging process will be discussed, including hurdles to overcome. Senescent cells, epigenetics of the aging process, regenerative medicine, clinical trials with medications and interventions in humans that can slow down aging will be explored. A new update on nutrigerontology will be provided, which is a new scientific discipline that studies how nutrition can accelerate or slow down the aging process and the advent of aging-related diseases like cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and macular degeneration. Also, new developments regarding start-ups and academic research groups that want to address and treat human aging will be explored.
