Longevity Medicine
As people live longer, preserving their quality of life on these later years becomes ever more important to clinicians.
“Longevity Medicine is a new field of restorative and preventative medicine utilising biomarkers of ageing dubbed the ageing clocks with the intention to maintain the patient's biological and psychological age as close to the state of optimal performance throughout the course of life as possible.” (ref.: Zhavoronkov, Bischof, KF Lee in "Artificial Intelligence in Longevity Medicine" and in Bischof et al., Lancet Healthy Longevity, "Longevity medicine: upskilling the physicians of tomorrow").
This introductory Longevity Medicine Course is a pivotal course that provides medical professionals with the most recent advances in biogerontology, geroscience, and precision medicine while teaching the ways to implement this knowledge in clinical practice.
