Why and how they got there, and where Aging is heading

An informal chat between trainees and leaders in the field

We are pleased to present the second session of The Alliance for Healthy Aging’s new series of Lunch with the Experts’ talks. Where every second Wednesday of the month, Trainees, Graduate Students, and Post-Docs can meet Faculty members for an informal discussion on science, career paths and anything exciting.

Guests will give a short talk on how they got to where they are, followed by an audience discussion and finishing with where they think the field is heading or what the ‘Next Big Thing’ is.

Join the Slack Channel (tinyurl.com/AHAtalks-join) for updates on presentations, questions and discussion during the talk, and a chance to talk with other researchers at Alliance centres.

We are pleased to present: 

Marco Demaria, PhD, University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), Associate Professor in Cellular Ageing and Principal Investigator at the European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing 

Dr. Marco Demaria’s expertise is in cellular senescence and aging related pathologies. His research is focused towards identifying novel mechanisms and biomarkers associated to senescent cells. The laboratory has a strong interest to characterize thepro-disease functions of senescent cells induced during aging and by anti-cancer therapies. A major goal is to exploit these findings for the development of rejuvenating interventions.
