Increased life expectancy is one of the most notable human consequences of advances in health and wealth during the last century. We are living longer and our enduring quality of life depends on healthy ageing. Today Newcastle has the largest interdisciplinary centre for ageing research in Europe and is one of the most important global contributors to the field.Our Institute for Ageing and Health (IAH) is unique in bringing together biological, clinical and social scientists with NHS services for old age medicine, neurology and psychiatry. We have made an international impact on the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, on the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in ageing and age-related disease, and on the underlying biology of the ageing process. In partnership with Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, we have recently been awarded Department of Health Biomedical Research centre status in Ageing. We also have a centre for Brain Ageing and Vitality, supported by BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC and MRC. The quality of our work on ageing was recognised by the award of the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in 2009.
