This ‘Biology of Ageing’ online course is designed for health professionals and anyone else who wishes to understand how and why cells inevitably age, the consequences of this ageing and how the negative effects, especially inflammation can be reduced.
Although complex, most aspects of the biology of ageing have been outlined and current research is expanding on the details. This online course includes five sessions that you can work through at your own pace, plus online Zoom Discussion groups and access to a private Facebook group.
