Well Aging Research Center
The Well Aging Research Center aims to achieve vitality maintenance and healthy longevity through an integrative approach to aging control and mechanism research. Collaborative and innovative research with DGIST, universities, and research institutes focuses on demonstrating the reversibility of aging through scientific and clinical evidence. Through collaborative efforts, we seek to develop aging imaging diagnostic technologies, biosensor monitoring systems, and biomarker/therapeutic technologies for age-related diseases. The DGIST Well Aging Research Center aspires to become a leading institution in aging research technology and contribute to addressing the societal and economic challenges of the centenarian era by applying cutting-edge aging research technologies to rapidly aging societies.
- Developing fundamental aging diagnosis, control, and recovery technologies through an integrated approach to mechanism research.
- Developing vitality maintenance/enhancement technologies through organic research on muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and the immune system, with a focus on controlling and improving age-related diseases.
- Identification and characterization of aging mechanisms and factors for aging control/recovery
- Discovery and study of aging-related genes and their mechanisms.
- Extraction and investigation of factors inducing functional recovery of aging cells and their underlying mechanisms.
- Establishment of cellular/animal models for age-related diseases
- Screening and validation of improvement materials through chemical/natural substance screening.
- Mechanistic studies of improvement materials for age-related diseases.
- Clinical trials utilizing secured aging control substances and control technologies:
- Development of treatment, diagnosis, and monitoring technologies through collaborative research with domestic and international research institutions, industries, and hospitals.
