  At Brown University, we’re at the forefront of a new era in aging research. The future isn’t just about living longer, it’s about living better. Scientists at our Center on the Biology of Aging are uncovering the biological mechanisms that drive aging, with the goal of not just extending lifespan but healthspan — the number of healthy years we live free from disease.From studying senescence (the process behind cell aging) to exploring the role of retrotransposons in neurodegenerative diseases, the work being done here is nothing short of groundbreaking. And the potential? It could revolutionize how we approach aging and chronic diseases like #Cancer, #Dementia, and #HeartDisease.As Professor John M. Sedivy, PhD, puts it, “It’s not really how long you live, it’s how well you live.” Learn more about how the next generation of aging research is shaping the future of medicine.🔗: ow.ly/xE4a50U5yT0#Aging #Healthspan #BiologyOfAging #BrownUniversity #ResearchInnovation ...
