The Centre for Healthy Ageing (CHA)

Welcome to our information centre on healthy ageing!

Here you can find answers to your questions on healthy ageing, general information about our research, as well as some interesting facts about how and why we age.

We combine basic research on the molecular mechanisms of ageing with clinical research to understand mechanisms of healthy ageing and to develop new treatments for age-related disease.

Our scientists work on topics ranging from genome stability and epigenetics to immunology, cancer, cardiovascular biology, neurobiology and mental health/resilience.

The CHA mourns the passing of Prof. Falk Fahrenholz, a founding member of our Advisory Board on Healthy Ageing.

Leading researchers came to Mainz for a conference on genome stability and DNA repair, organised in partnership with the CHA.

The Roukos lab developed a new protocol that gives unprecedented insights into how genome-editing enzymes work.
