£4.6m project aims to understand causes of ageing

Scientists from the University of Glasgow are taking part in a £4.6m project aimed at understanding the role played by 'free radicals' in the ageing process

The multidisciplinary study called the Proxomics Project is a joint collaboration with Imperial College London and the University of Aston, and is worth £1.5m to Glasgow.

Funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the project will focus on the development of new technologies for understanding the causes of ageing and focus on protein-oxidative damage.
