ICMR Centre for Advanced Research in Aging (CAR)

ICMR is supporting a new Centre for Advanced Research in Aging at IISc. The centre aims to tackle aging through India-specific biomarkers, organ-level studies, and research. With a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach, the centre will focus on translating science into real-world solutions for healthy aging.

About

Pioneering the Future of Aging: New Research Centre at IISc

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is supporting the establishment of a Centre for Advanced Research in Aging (CAR) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, as part of the Longevity India Initiative.

This pioneering center is dedicated to advancing research in healthy aging and developing strategies to enhance the quality of life for India's elderly population.

Key Focus Areas

01.
India-Specific Aging Research
Recognizing the limits of Western data, the center will focus on identifying aging biomarkers and trajectories unique to Indian populations.
02.
Developing Organ-Specific Aging Models
Research at CAR will examine how aging impacts various organs, aiming for a deeper understanding of the overall aging process.
03.
Exploring the Gut-Brain Connection
The center will investigate how the gut microbiome and the brain interact during aging, a topic of growing interest in the field of longevity.
04.
Integrative Research Approach
Aging is complex. CAR will combine biology, data science, and clinical research to understand it holistically.
05.
Collaborative Research Ecosystem
The center will bring together IISc researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, and policymakers to foster interdisciplinary innovation.
06.
Translating Research into Solutions
The goal is not just to understand aging but also to develop interventions and solutions that can improve the health and well-being of the elderly.
