Study biomarkers associated with longevity and wellness in aging

Also in the first half of this year, a survey that relates to longevity biomarkers will be presented to the Foundation for Research Support of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP). The coordination of the Health and the Institute of Biology Studies Brazil Europe (IBE) completes the writing of the research project kinetic study to identify biomarkers associated with aging, developed through a partnership between Brazilian and European universities that comprise the IBE.

The aging and wellness is one of five themes developed by the institute, which is funded by the European Commission to promote the development of teaching and research between Brazil and the European Union.

The research project, which has a transdisciplinary vision and is already being developed by researchers for a year, seeks to identify biomarkers in individuals with greater longevity. The markers will be measured experimentally are related to molecular biology, endocrinological and oxidative stress, among others. The study has a translational research with rats and humans.

Elaborate design researchers UNESP, UNICAMP, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Federal University of Goiás (UFG), University of Porto, Sapienza Università di Roma and Brunel University London, with the integration of scholars from the fields of medicine, physiotherapy, humanities and technology.
