MetAGE - Cluster of Excellence

Ever feel like your energy just doesn’t bounce back like it used to?
It’s not just age. It's your cells losing their metabolic flexibility.

Good news: we’re learning how to reverse it.

🔁 Join the conversation on healthy aging!

Obesity accelerates cardiovascular ageing Abstract. A global obesity pandemic, coupled with an increasingly ageing population, is exacerbating the burden of cardiovascular disease. Indeed, clinical

🫀 Obesity speeds up aging of the heart & vessels – through inflammation, cell stress, & mitochondrial dysfunction: MetAGE researchers Mahmoud Abdellatif & Frank Madeo have compiled current research about this topic.

✨ Takeaways that stuck with us:
🔹 When is “old” old? → mindset vs. reality
🔹 Don't just innovate for, but with older generation
🔹 Interdisciplinary collaboration is key
🔹 Innovation thrives when young & old work together
🔹 Lifelong learning will be essential in an ageing society

🧠 We recently attended SENovation Styria, hosted by @medunigraz.at – an event on innovation for healthier aging with voices from science, business & healthcare.

👋 Meet the people behind MetAGE: Dr. Mahmoud Abdellatif – key researcher @medunigraz.at

He studies how aging affects the heart and vessels at the cellular&molecular levels – and how we could slow it down.

Introducing: The Future of Aging by The World as You’ll Know It: The Future Of Aging

I'm thrilled to share my new project: a podcast about the science of aging. Here's the trailer megaphone.link/CAD4784658285

The Billion Dollar Bet: Will Humans Live to 150? Podcast Episode · The World as You’ll Know It: The Future Of Aging · 05/20/2025 · 35m

Here's the first episode of my new podcast about the science of aging. I talk to two scientists who have a long-running bet about whether someone alive today will live to 150. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... & Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0o4P...

Here's what our research cluster does: We study how aging affects metabolism and vice versa – and what we can do to increase our healthy life span.
