Mental health is influenced by intricate interactions between biological, psychological, and social factors.
While substantial progress has been made, critical knowledge gaps persist in identifying the underlying mechanisms responsible for age-related decline and disease.
Our faculty employs a sophisticated suite of experimental and analytical tools to investigate the mechanisms of aging. These techniques are applied across diverse research models, including animal studies, human clinical research, and community-based investigations. By integrating these approaches, we strive to deepen our understanding of both healthy and pathological aging, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies and improved clinical outcomes.
