Uncovering sex specific, epigenetic biomarkers of healthy ageing for targeted exercise interventions [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description The aged population accounts for a significant, and increasing, amount of Australia’s health budget. We aim to uncover novel molecular biomarkers that slow the ageing process and maintain good health for longer. We will use innovative DNA and protein analysis to study the molecular ‘clocks’ of young and old populations and to test whether exercise can slow the ageing process. This will underpin the development of evidence-based biomarkers to be used in personalised health interventions.
