Researchers in the Faculty of Medicine are involved in one of 11 new national research networks to tackle challenges in ageing.
Announced by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Medical Research Council (MRC), Professor Karen Lillycrop and Professor Keith Godfrey will be part of the MyAge (Muscle resilience across the life course: from cells to society) network. The network will be led by the University's Institute for Life Sciences with Professor Peter Smith as Principal Investigator and MyAge Director.
Over the course of the two year project, they aim to build new collaborations and hypotheses for the future of research in this area and develop a roadmap to interventions that can achieve five more years of independent living.
