About JenAge

The JenAge Centre is a multidisciplinary research centre located in Jena / Germany.

It was launched in October 2009 as a result of the successful grant application of 10 Jena-based research groups to the German Federal Ministry's of Education and Research call 'Systems Biology for Health in Old Age - Gerontosys'.

The JenAge member groups belong to the following four institutions:

• Leibniz Institute for Age Research - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI)
  
• Leibniz Institute for Natural Products Research and Infection Biology - Hans Knöll Institute (HKI)
  
• Friedrich Schiller University (FSU)
  
• University Hospital Jena (UKJ)
  

The JenAge Centre is also closely linked to the Jena Centre for Bioinformatics (JCB).

The objective of the centre's work is to join forces between age research and systems biology.
