About this programme
With demographic changes leading to a growing elderly population, there is a pressing need to address age-associated diseases. However, many causes and mechanisms of such diseases remain unclear today. As a result, the wide field of research into the ageing process has swiftly emerged to investigate mechanisms, prevention, and treatment of ageing and age-associated diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to educate students in this innovative and fast-growing area. Our Master's programme in Genetics and Biology of Ageing and Regeneration combines theoretical and practical learning through lecture series, method-oriented seminars, and practical research projects. You can learn not only about molecular mechanisms and processes governing the functions of cells and tissues in organisms but also about how their dysfunctions contribute to ageing and age-related diseases. Topics will also include strategies for prevention, clinical intervention, and potential treatment of age-related diseases. You will be taught and supervised by internationally renowned and experienced scientists from the fields of genetics and research into the ageing process. The close collaboration with the CECAD Cluster of Excellence for Ageing Research and the Max-Planck-Institute for Biology of Ageing will offer you an extensive environment with a broad range of interdisciplinary research topics within the field of ageing research. Whether aspiring to pursue further doctoral studies or embark on a career in the li
