PhD in Ageing Studies in Uxbridge United Kingdom | Brunel University of London

The primary goal of the Ageing Studies initiative is to enhance our comprehension of ways to boost older adults' health and wellbeing. Our multidisciplinary approach tackles core research objectives: optimizing healthy aging, examining varied aging trajectories, and assessing healthcare solutions that promote successful aging. With 40 team members, we integrate four fundamental disciplines essential for understanding aging: social/behavioral sciences, biology, clinical research, and arts/humanities with policy studies. Our work primarily concentrates on three main research domains.
