What is CARICE?
The Centre for Ageing Resilience In a Changing Environment is led by Professor Claire Steves from the School of Life Course & Population Sciences and will involve scientists and research teams from all the Schools in the Faculty working on ageing research.
Vision
CARICE aims to centralise and focus ageing research across the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine to reduce the negative collective impact of the major colliding global challenges of climate change and population ageing.
The centre brings together the Faculty senior and early career researchers together with clinicians specialised in ageing to share expertise and ideas to:
- Identify specific advice and treatments to increase and maintain good health of our ageing population.
- Provide a research environment to support future grants to study how to increase resilience in the ageing population.
Healthspan Connect & CARICE
As part of Healthspan Connect’s commitment to studying ageing, disease progression, health risks, and factors influencing a longer, healthier lifespan, we collaborate with CARICE through King’s College London to bring together the efforts in understanding health aging and resilience.
