Dr. Marco Malavolta is a researcher specialising in the study of ageing and its associated pathologies. As the founder of the Geriatric Mouse Clinic at IRCCS INRCA, his research focuses on longitudinal studies in mice aimed at understanding the mechanisms of ageing and developing treatments targeted at different hallmarks of ageing. His ultimate goal is to slow down ageing, rejuvenate tissues, and treat age-related diseases. His approach is based on geroscience, with preclinical studies in mice centralising the aged animals’ welfare to perfectly balance ethical commitments and scientific needs.
