Event details

As the population ages, is there anything we can do to reduce the symptoms of ageing? Can it be considered an illness, for which a cure can and will be sought? Join Dr Matthew Piper to explore current research, and discuss the options available in both the near and distant future.
Dr Matthew Piper is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the Institute of Healthy Ageing, UCL. His research focuses on the effect of nutrition on health and the ageing process.
