Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing
Scientific research institute dedicated to age research
The Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing investigates the natural ageing process with the long-term goal to pave the way towards increasing health during ageing in humans. It is an institute within the Max Planck Society, which is one of Germany’s most succesful research organisation. Since its foundation in 2008 the institute is an integral part of a local life science cluster that pursue ageing research.
