🔬 Meet Dr. Brigitte Pertschy – Key Researcher @uni-graz.at & Head of our Training Unit
She studies how ribosomes are built & how this process changes as we age.

💡 Recently awarded a €10M @erc.europa.eu Synergy Grant for the project 'snoOPERA'! Congrats!

Tobias Madl & coworkers show how FOXO4 keeps scenecent “zombie cells” 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

👩‍🔬Meet 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?

👋 Meet Dr. Thomas Scherer – 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 doesn’t bounce back like it used to?
It’s not just age. It's your cells losing their metabolic flexibility.

Good news: we’re learning how to reverse it.

🔁 Join the conversation on healthy aging!

🧠 We recently attended SENovation Styria, hosted by @medunigraz.at – an event on innovation for healthier aging with voices from science, business & healthcare.

🎥 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.

👋 Meet the people behind MetAGE: Dr. Mahmoud Abdellatif – key researcher @medunigraz.at

He studies how aging affects the heart and vessels at the cellular&molecular levels – and how we could slow it down.

🫀 New publication: Blocking fat breakdown - not just eating less - may better treat obesity-related heart failure (HFpEF).
Fat tissue might hold the key.

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 – and what we can do to increase our healthy life span.
