Focus on Cellular Health and Prevention
Modern aging research has made immense progress in recent years. In her lecture as part of the renowned “Science & Society” series, Nina Ruge highlights what science already knows today about the biological causes of aging. The range of topics extends from basic cellular health to specific biomarkers and inflammatory processes in the body.
Special attention is paid to modern preventive medicine. Ruge will not only provide listeners with theoretical knowledge but also explain in a practical way which strategies and behaviors each individual can actively use today to extend their healthy lifespan – the so-called “healthspan.” Those who cannot be there in person have the opportunity to follow the event conveniently via a livestream.
Background: Aging Research at Beutenberg
The Beutenberg-Campus in the southwest of Jena is an internationally recognized center for life sciences and physics. With the Leibniz-Institut für Alternsforschung – Fritz-Lipmann-Institut (FLI), the location is home to the first national research facility in Germany dedicated to biomedical aging research.
The goal of the Jena scientists is to decode the molecular mechanisms of aging in order to better understand and treat age-related diseases such as dementia, cancer, or cardiovascular diseases in the future. The “Science & Society” lecture series regularly builds an important bridge between this highly complex basic research and the interested public.
