This range of topics has to do with the biomedical research of human aging, a multifactorial process which is influenced by the environment and genetic factors. The goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms which underlie the human process of aging and lead to age-related diseases. The research is laying the scientific foundation for the development of therapies that contribute to a healthy human aging process and the avoidance of age-related diseases.
