Our core themes

The research within the institute spans four core areas or themes that cover key aspects of clinical and scientific exploration into ageing resilience and the environment. The themes allow researchers to coalesce under shared interests to better facilitate transdisciplinary investigation.

Theme 1: Biology of ageing resilience (Bio-AR)

This theme brings together existing strengths from biological scientists across FoLSM and clinical academics. All working on ageing, from cells, to tissue samples and organoid cell cultures to whole organisms with cohorts. By bringing them together with clinical teams we will create a roadmap to accelerate translation to human settings.

Theme 2: Lifestyles and ageing resilience (Life-AR)

This theme links King’s strengths in ageing from nutrition, exercise, physiology, behaviour change modification, rehabilitation, social science, with health economics and MedTech to find new insight.

Theme 3: Environmental stressors and ageing resilience (ES-AR)

This theme will investigate how local and socio-economic environments in the UK and globally can be modified to promote ageing resilience as environmental stressors change and intensify.

Theme 4: Innovations to promote ageing resilience (Innovate-AR)

In the clinical sphere, as well as the development of new lab methodologies, informatics and AI-tools, to enable world-leading resilience research and novel techniques for older people to cope with clinical and social stressors.
