The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biology of Ageing,founded in 2008,is one of over 80 independent,non-profit-making institutes set up under the umbrella of the Max Planck Society. The overall research aim is to obtain fundamental insights into the aging process and thus to pave the way towards healthier aging in humans. An international research team drawn from almost 40 nations is working to uncover underlying molecular,physiological and evolutionary mechanisms.
