Scientific excellence depends on diversity of perspectives, experiences, and voices! Excellence thrives where opportunity is shared.
On the International Day of Girls and Women in Science, we recognize the researchers shaping the future of #HealthyAging.
#WomenInScience #GirlsInScience #MetAGE
Excellent research requires excellent teams! We are happy to have such a team!
At MetAGE, we explore how interconnected metabolic processes shape health over time and how we can support healthy aging, together.

New review from our team โ Subhash Khatri, Mahmoud Abdellatif, and Simon Sedej from @medunigraz.at
For longevity science, this is a must-read.
๐A deep dive into NADโบ precursors, the clinical data behind it & how close we are to slowing human aging

๐ฌ Meet Dr. Brigitte Pertschy โ Key Researcher @uni-graz.at & Head of our Training Unit
She studies how ribosomes are built & how this process changes as we age.
๐ก Recently awarded a โฌ10M @erc.europa.eu Synergy Grant for the project 'snoOPERA'! Congrats!

Tobias Madl & coworkers show how FOXO4 keeps scenecent โzombie cellsโ alive by binding to a disorderd region of p53. Blocking this with FOXO4-DRI initiates killing of aging cells - a potential key to anti-aging therapies. @medunigraz.at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social

๐ฉโ๐ฌMeet our team: Dr. Martina Schweiger from @uni-graz.at studies how fat and metabolism shape health, aging & disease - from obesity to cachexia.
Having too much or too little fat affects us profoundly! Follow her research @schweigerlab.bsky.social

Good commnication is what truly matters - no matter if young or old, in our body or beyond.
What's your take on this?

๐ Meet Dr. Thomas Scherer โ MetAGE Deputy Director of Research @meduniwien.ac.at
As a clinician, he's not only interested in the mechanisms of age-related diseases, but also to integrate clinical intervention studies into his research.

Ever feel like your energy just doesnโt bounce back like it used to?
Itโs not just age. It's your cells losing their metabolic flexibility.
Good news: weโre learning how to reverse it.

โจ Takeaways that stuck with us:
๐น When is โoldโ old? โ mindset vs. reality
๐น Don't just innovate for, but with older generation
๐น Interdisciplinary collaboration is key
๐น Innovation thrives when young & old work together
๐น Lifelong learning will be essential in an ageing society
๐ง We recently attended SENovation Styria, hosted by @medunigraz.at โ an event on innovation for healthier aging with voices from science, business & healthcare.
๐ฅ How does fat metabolism shape how we age?
ORF featured 'MetAGE' in a short TV clip on our research about aging and metabolism in cell models and patients.

Tolles Achievement @chmoei.bsky.social! Gratulation und viel Erfolg fรผr die weitere Forschung!
๐ซ New publication: Blocking fat breakdown - not just eating less - may better treat obesity-related heart failure (HFpEF).

I'm thrilled to share my new project: a podcast about the science of aging. Here's the trailer megaphone.link/CAD4784658285
Here's the first episode of my new podcast about the science of aging. I talk to two scientists who have a long-running bet about whether someone alive today will live to 150. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... & Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0o4P...
Here's what our research cluster does: We study how aging affects metabolism and vice versa โ and what we can do to increase our healthy life span.
