This lecture will review ageing across the animal kingdom together with the latest scientific insights into how the processes may operate. It will also review promising avenues for translation into practice over the next few years. Current barriers to progress in ageing research will also be considered. Speaker: Dr Richard Faragher, Reader in Gerontology, School of Pharmacy & Biomolecular Sciences, University of Brighton. Richard Faragher read Biochemistry at Imperial College, London, and undertook doctoral studies at the University of Sussex. His primary research interest is the relationship between replicative senescence and organismal ageing. In 2005, he became the first ever scientist to receive a Help the Aged award for his championship of research for older people. From 2004-2008 Dr Faragher was Co-director of the BBSRC EPSRC-SPARC programme, a cross-disciplinary research network designed to build national capacity in ageing research. He currently serves on the Research Advisory Council of the Charity Research Into Ageing. This lecture was recorded on 21st of March 2009 at the UKH+ meeting.
