Working at the Charité
We are pursuing research on the biochemical or big-data-driven basis of longevity regulation to identify novel therapeutic options to prevent and cure age-related diseases like obesity, diabetes, neurodegeneration and cancer.
We aim to identify novel promoters of healthy aging by (i) characterizing previously identified candidate genes for physiological and pathological aging, as well as by (ii) analysing preexistent big-data sets and cohorts to identify modifiers of human over-all and disease-specific mortality, to ultimately identify targets as well as pre-clinical and clinical approaches to facilitate better health at higher age.
The PhD degree can be obtained at Humboldt University Berlin, or at Charité University Medicine Berlin.
