Oxford Society
of Ageing and Longevity
We are a student-led organisation with the goal of highlighting cutting-edge ageing research and treatments that target the underlying biology of ageing. By spreading awareness, we hope to inspire the next generation of scientists and biotech entrepreneurs.
A Cure for Ageing?
We treat cancer, visual impairment, heart disease and other ailments individually. The list is vast and extensive. But what if we could treat the root cause of nearly all disease? What if we could cure aging itself?
Seem far fetched?
We know, we know… But it’s a lot more plausible than it sounds. For the first time in human history we’re at a convergent point of CRISPR, Epigenetics, Genome-Wide Association Studies, Artificial Intelligence, Gene Therapy, and a whole slew of other new areas of growth in the coming decade.
