PUBLICATIONS 2016

The studies developed in our Center are focused on understanding the basic principles of aging from molecules to systems. We’re also trying to decipher if the Chilean population harbors most of the genetic, molecular and cellular properties described in cohorts from all around the world or if it has unique characteristics.
