EFT Report, London: University College London is scheduled to host Lunch Hour Lecture on ‘A Diet to Treat Ageing’ on Feb. 21, 2013.
It has been known for some time that moderate dietary restriction can extend healthy lifespan in a variety of organisms. By experimenting on fruitflies, we are uncovering that only very small changes in specific nutrients are required for this effect. Importantly, these effects appear to be evolutionarily conserved, meaning these new discoveries could be applied to benefit human ageing.
Date & Time: February 21, 2013; 13:15-13:55
Venue: Darwin Lecture Theatre access via Malet Place, Darwin Building, Gower St, London, United Kingdom
Open to: Academic, Alumni, Public, Student
Admission: FREE
Speaker: Dr Matt Piper, UCL Institute of Healthy Aging
Contact: Catherine Dean, 020 3108 3839, c.dean@ucl.ac.uk
You can watch this lecture live on the day at 1.15pm at: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/lhl/streamed/live_view/
