Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports research project ROSAge

Tracing the phenomenon of Ageing

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF supports the ROSAge project, “Reactive oxygen species and the dynamics of ageing", where researchers trace the phenomenon of ageing. The project is realized within the Gerontosys program.
A number of partners are working together in this project, among them research teams from the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Informatics and Electrical Engineering from Rostock University, researchers from Leipzig and Lübeck and, as industrial partners from Rostock, the companies Bionas GmbH and arivis GmbH.
The project manager Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Köhling from the Physiological Institute of Rostock University explains that the aim is to develop a model for mitochondria-based ageing, using combinations of experimental analyses and system-biological modeling.
