Ageing Research at King's College London (ARK-AI)

Pleased to have been invited by Our Future Health UK to be a Research Ambassador as part of their Early Adopter programme. Look forward to working with Raghib Ali OBE, Jessica Brand and the #OurFutureHealth team to promote this important national initiative to prevent and delay the onset of ageing-related conditions. This will be achieved through R&D collaborations with Ageing Research at King's College London (ARK-AI), King's Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, European Society of Preventive Medicine and Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics - University of Oxford

We are pleased to be supporting Our Future Health UK through the Early Adopter Programme. Our ARK Director, Richard Siow and ARK Committee member Cathryn Lewis join the first team of Research Ambassadors to highlight the importance this national initiative to delay and prevent the onset of age-related health conditions.

Pleased that our polyphenol neutraceutical clinical trial has just been published in Antioxidants MDPI. This collaborative study facilitated by Ageing Research at King's College London (ARK-AI) was led by Prof Dag Aarsland, Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London, and Centre for Age-related Medicine at Stavanger University Hospital. The trial included epigenetics analyses by Christopher C. at Muhdo Health. Thanks to the lead authors Dr Chiara de Lucia (KCL / SUS), Dr Joyce Ruifen Chong (National University of Singapore) and support from Hartley Pond with the #DailyColors team. Read the article at:

Informative new review on “Ageing well with diabetes: the role of technology” by Giuseppe Maltese and Alan Sinclair, ARK External Advisory Board members. The paper highlights that older people with diabetes benefit from technology in terms of glucose management, reductions in hypoglycaemic events, emergency department attendance and hospital admissions, and improvement in quality of life.

Congratulations to Professor Juan Burrone and Dr Ivo Lieberam! Their research into axonal dysfunction in neurodegeneration has received £3.9 million from the MRC and MND Association. The project will systematically investigate an early disease pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and design new therapeutic strategies. "We are very grateful to the MRC and MND Association for funding our proposal. This is an exciting collaborative project that aims to understand the cellular pathologies behind ALS/FTD to identify a new therapeutic angle. We will focus on the early stages of the disease — before axons degenerate, but when their function is already compromised. Our aim is to rescue axon function in the hope of preventing neurodegeneration.", said Professor Juan Burrone. Read the story ⬇

A new gut #microbiome atlas developed by researchers at King's College London led by Saeed Shoaie builds the most accurate profile of global gut health to date. This could help scientists and clinicians to better understand how bacteria in the gut can cause and prevent diseases and how to modify them for healthy #ageing and #longevity.
