Cologne Excellence Cluster for Aging and Aging-Associated Diseases (CECAD) receives renewed DFG funding

The CECAD Cluster of Excellence (Cologne Excellence Cluster for Aging and Aging-Associated Diseases) will be funded for seven more years as part of the Excellence Strategy. CECAD is dedicated to the study of aging processes and age-related conditions. With demographic change, the proportion of older people in our society is growing at a fast pace. As people age, the risk of chronic diseases also increases, and staying healthy in old age is an ever-growing challenge.

We are delighted with our colleagues from CECAD for the extension of their Cluster of Excellence. The CECAD researchers leading projects in our SFB 1607 are Professor Aleksandra Trifunovic (Project C01), Professor Björn Schumacher (Project A05), Professor Hamid Kashkar (Project A04) and Professor Manolis Pasparakis (Project B01). Together we are continuing the fight against age-associated diseases.
