Ageing Biology & Age-Related Diseases Research Group

About the centre

The Ageing Biology & Age-Related Diseases Research Group is located within the Centre for Resilience based in the University of Westminster’s School of Life Sciences.  The Ageing Biology & Age-Related Diseases Group aims to understand how humans age, why we age, and what we can do as individuals and a wider society to maximise our time spent in good health and minimise the biologically negative aspects of age. 

Besides the group's work in understanding ageing and age-related disease, group members are actively involved in public engagement and policy discussions at national and international levels.
