"Health of the Nation: a Strategy for Healthier Longer Lives" report of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Longevity

launched 12th February 2020 with Rt Hon Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care

see Key chapter I - Lynne Cox: 'The Economic and Scientific Case for Therapeutic Intervention in Ageing'  (https://appg-longevity.org/events-publications)

The House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee published on 15th January 2021 its in-depth report on 'Ageing: Science, Technology and Healthy Living' which makes very specific recommendations to the UK Government.

The following key findings are taken directly from the press release accompanying the report. I quote:

• New Science has potential to improve healthy ageing benefiting the individual, the NHS and society
• UK is global leader in drug development and new technologies with promising advances
• However, Government is missing its key healthy ageing targets and must act now
• Inequalities in healthy life expectancy are stark; COVID-19 has highlighted concerns
• Evidence that the rate of multi-morbidity is increasing; designated clinicians required

I provided both oral and written evidence to the committee which they refer to extensively in the report – a link to the report can be found here: 

Further information from the House of Lords website about the enquiry is here. 

Science Question Time on "Designing research to serve ageing populations" sponsored by MSD. The report (published 24th February 2021 and available here) highlights the importance of biomedical research in ageing, together with the need to include older people in clinical trials of therapies that will be of benefit to them. 

Quote from the report:

"The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented strain on health systems and societies around the world. It has shone a light on health inequalities and reinforced the importance of fostering health resilience. It has also highlighted the importance of scientific research to protect the health and wealth of societies. Science Question Time held on 25 November 2020 brought together leading scientists and policymakers to reflect upon these factors and think about the broader implications for R&D, asking the key question: ‘How can we design research to serve ageing populations and those with comorbidities, and ensure that research is reflecting our societal aim of achieving healthy longevity?’"

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Mission on Quantum Healthy Longevity for healthy people, planet, and growth on 14th November 2022 during Longevity Week

We launched  Health of the Nation: a Strategy for Healthier Longer Lives on 12th February, with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, the Right Honourable Matt Hancock

Healthy Ageing: From molecules to organisms: POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19

27 - 29 May 2020 Wellcome Genome Campus, UK

The third conference in this series will focus on recent discoveries and current challenges in ageing research, with a focus on translating basic research insights into health improvement for older people.

Ageing can lead to declining health and function, and it is the major risk factor for cancer, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disease. We aim to explore the mechanisms of ageing in cells, tissues and organisms in order to identify interventions that can ameliorate its negative effects.

The conference will focus on how recent developments in cell- and immune-senescence, neuroinflammation, stem cells and epigenetics are leading to an increased understanding of the ageing process. This year’s meeting will also highlight research into the ageing brain and nervous system and discuss lifestyle interventions for health improvement.

The meeting is aimed at scientists, clinicians and drug developers involved in research into ageing and other relevant fields.

What causes age-related disease and can ageing be treated?

Ageing and age-related diseases affect some people much more than others: there is no one fixed way to age and everyone is different. While we know that a good diet, exercise and plenty of sleep are important to maintain health, other factors out of our control (e.g. genes, environment) can lead to significant ill health and disability in later life. The vast majority of older people suffer from several chronic age-related diseases simultaneously - this is termed co-morbidity. 

We now know that changes to cells as they age, termed cell senescence, can be critical in causing many different diseases of ageing. Exciting new research from labs around the world has shown that removing senescent cells can improve health in later life, and even extend lifespan in mice. 

Cells undergo senescence in several different ways in response to DNA damage, activation of oncogenes or simply after they have undergone a large number of cell divisions until their telomeres (repetitive DNA structures at the ends of the chromosomes that shorten at every cell division cycle) have become critically short. Senescence is an important tumour suppressor mechanism to prevent damaged cells from dividing, but the many changes cells undergo as they become senescent leads to them altering their local environment, including degrading tissue structure and promoting a pro-inflammatory and pro-cancer environment. 

By identifying the biochemical pathways and specific molecules involved, we aim to develop ways of altering the rate or outcomes of cell senescence, in order to better treat age-associated diseases and frailty.

BIRAX conference November 2021

As well as diseases traditionally associated with ageing, we are also looking at Type 1 diabetes as a model of premature ageing, studying whether cell senescence contributes to bone fragility and morbidity in diabetes. This is part of a collaboration under the BIRAX/British Council scheme with Prof Rivka Dresner-Pollak in Jerusalem, and funded by Diabetes UK. Here you can see the talk I gave at the latest BIRAX meeting on our progress (forgive the remote broadcasting issues with slide size) :

Longevity Forum Science Summit at Oriel College Oxford, 16th November 2021. 

I was delighted to co-host this with Jim Mellon. 

We were fortunate to hear from many eminent speakers and colleagues about recent advances in ageing science. Longevity Technology report back from the meeting - see:

UK SPINE conference: COVID-19 continues to impose a devastating burden on the global population, with older people most at risk of severe disease and death. It is vital that lessons from ageing biology are taken into account when designing new treatments and prophylaxis strategies, and that older people are included in clinical trials. See how basic research can lead to clinical trials in people:
