Limburg Birth Cohort

Why do some people age faster than others?

Podcast From University of Flanders

Some people age biologically really faster than others. And this is partly due to the length of our telomeres.

Dr Dries Martens

Dr Dries Martens is one of our postdocs within the Limburg Birth Cohort, where he focuses on research into the ageing process. This research allows us to understand the effect of genes and environmental factors on the health of newborns and children. When he is not busy with DNA research, he likes to go for an adventure walk. What that is, you can make up your own mind ;-). By the way, you can also bump into him at record fairs - as a music lover always looking for the best records.
