About the London Ageing Research Network
Founded in 2025, our initiative was created to connect researchers studying ageing and age-related diseases across London’s universities and the Francis Crick Institute.
We bring together scientists from diverse disciplines - from basic research to clinical applications - to foster collaboration, innovation, and community. We are committed to building an inclusive environment that welcomes both researchers already working in the ageing field and those whose work in related disease areas intersects with the biology of ageing.
Through networking, shared resources, and interdisciplinary exchange, we aim to strengthen and expand the ageing research community across London.
