Unravelling the secrets of healthy ageing by studying the genetic make-up of long-lived individuals

Lecture: Unravelling the secrets of healthy ageing by studying the genetic make-up of long-lived individuals

We invite you to the lecture of Joris Deelen on 13 February at 12pm in room P-05-34.

"Individuals that reach an exceptional old age often seem to escape or delay age-related diseases, and part of this trait seems to be encoded in their genome. [...] The focus in my group has therefore shifted towards the study of rare genetic variants uniquely identified in exceptionally long-lived individuals or human families exhibiting longevity."

Review Uncovers Associations Between Sleep Disruption and Gut Microbiome Changes

Review Uncovers Associations Between Sleep Disruption and Gut Microbiome Changes

When we sleep poorly, we immediately realize how much it affects our mood. But research suggests that poor sleep is also linked to biological changes in our gut health.

The systematic review recently published thoroughly analyzed all trials and studies associating certain bacterial profiles with poor sleep. In essence, poor sleep is associated with…
