The MIA-Portugal seminar on ageing will feature Marco Demaria, Associate Professor of Cellular Aging at the Medical Faculty of the University of Groningen - Netherlands, presenting the theme «Heterogeneity in cellular senescence: from mechanisms to interventions».
The remote event takes place on the 5Th of May 2022, at 2 pm (Lisbon Time). The session requires registration.
Marco Demaria obtained his PhD at the University of Torino, Italy, and did a postdoc at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, California USA. He joined the University of Groningen and the European Research Institute for the Biology of Aging (ERIBA) in 2015 as Tenure-track Professor and Group leader of the laboratory “Cellular Senescence and Age-related Pathologies”.
His research is focused towards understanding the cell non-autonomous functions of senescent cells, including their roles in tissue repair, cancer and aging. The goal of his research group is to dissect positive and negative roles of cellular senescence in different physiological and pathological context.
The «MIA-Portugal seminar series 2021/22» analyses topics about ageing research and mechanisms and is targeted to the scientific community and researchers in age-related topics.
