Aims: 

The SIG on Biology of Ageing aims at:

• Providing their members an opportunity to network with other members in order to make valuable contacts, enhance the discussion of challenging issues, and to facilitate the exchange of advances in the field of aging biology

• Supporting their members in the development of policy positions as well as scientific papers in the field of aging biology

• Promoting the role, influence and importance of aging biology in the EuGMS and other national societies of geriatrics

• Disseminating expertise and knowledge in aging biology, starting from the experience of existing excellence research laboratories in Europe

• Participate in European clinical and translational research programs

• Define the opitmal technics to quantify/analyze aging pathway and markers

• Identifying aging and frailty (clinical) biomarkers: build European cohorts and biobank

• Exchange of students: PhDs, Post-Docs…

• Create a European diploma on aging biology: Master degree? Erasmus Mundus?

 

Relevance for the purposes of the EuGMS:

• Give to EuGMS an international leadership in aging biology field

• Need to better mix fundamental research on aging biology and clinical research and practicing

• Need to increase the link between geriatric syndromes and basic biology

• Need to increase research student exchanges

• Find biomarkers of frailty and aging

 

Members:
