I believe in the power of how we design our homes and communities to influence our everyday well-being. The experiences we have within their designs reflect complex interactions among the physical structure, social relations, and sociocultural expectations that govern our built environment. My most recent research has focused on the role of home and communities in helping older adults age in place. I listen to their lived experiences and observe their everyday practices in hopes

I am a hematology physician scientist fascinated by how nutrition and metabolism can cause DNA damage in our body, how this can affect ageing and cancer, and motivated to translate this knowledge to novel therapy.
I am a MD PhD graduate from University of Cambridge, UK. My PhD was with Professor Michael Neuberger at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology focusing on B cell immunology. I completed my residency clinical training at King’s College Hospital in
Patrick Schrauwen
As a basic scientist by training, my research has initially included both pre-clinical and human interventions, but since the last ~20 years I have focused my research on human translational intervention studies. Currently I work at the German Diabetes Center in Düsseldorf, Germany. At CHE I aim to contribute to the further stimulation of the translational relevance of the excellent metabolic investigations, and provide my expertise and ongoing research on collaborative projects. In particular, I

I am driven by medical and economic consequence of age-related weight gain. Age-related weight gain is a description of the epidemiological fact that as we grow older, we are growing fatter. And the fatter we grow, the serious medical consequences become causing increased suffering financial costs. We have been studying obesity for several hundreds of years and despite our knowledge of the consequence of obesity we cannot tell the public how to prevent from growing fatter. I
