The Longevity Prize

Senescent cells accumulate with age and are associated with numerous diseases. Dr. Amit Sharma’s team have identified senescence-specific cell surface biomarkers which will act as targets for developing Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer (CAR-NK) cells aiming to precisely and safely eliminate senescent cells in vivo.

Korolchuck lab proposes a drug discovery programme with the aim of identifying novel bioactive autophagy inducers. Activation of autophagy is considered a promising therapeutic approach to combat ageing and age-related diseases.
