Biomedical Approaches
Full course description
The course teaches to apply core biomedical skills, methods and techniques in determining, analysis, designing interventions and preventative strategies targeting pathological and age-related cellular processes.
Core biomedical techniques are utilized to address ageing and age-related diseases:
- biomedical imaging
- neurological
- regenerative medicine
- inflammation and pathophysiology
- genetics and genomics
- nutrition, physical activity and metabolism

ILO1. Teach students hallmarks of ageing and the concept of ageing as a disease
ILO2. Familiarize students with the whole spectrum of interventions to postpone, delay and alleviate detrimental changes associated with ageing
ILO3. Gain understanding of the following hallmarks of ageing that contribute to loss of homeostasis and determine the ageing process, as well as interconnections between the different types of damage and compensatory responses:
- immuno-ageing and immunosenescence• neurodegenerative disorders• cancer development• (epi-)genetic alterations, genomic instability and telomere attrition • deregulated nutrient sensing• cellular senescence and stem cell exhaustion
ILO4. Apply core biomedical skills to determine, analyse, design interventions and preventative strategies addressing hallmarks of ageing and age-related disorders from six core biomedical perspectives:
- biomedical imaging
- nutrition, physical activity and metabolism
- neuromodulation
- regenerative medicine
- inflammation and pathophysiology
- genetics and genomics
