Longevity - Preventive Medicine Across the Lifespan

Ageing Research at King's (ARK) in partnership with the European Society of Preventive Medicine (ESPM) and the Longevity Science Foundation (LSF), is pleased to host the 6th ARK Longevity Week event at the Waterloo Campus, King's College London, part of the annual series of events organised by the Longevity Forum. The week's overarching theme this year is "Prevention: The Path to Longer, Healthier Lives".

Our hybrid symposium will address preventive medicine for healthy ageing in the context of novel technologies, harnessing health data, preventive medicine and lifestyle interventions, and consumer health monitoring across the life course. Our partners will highlight developments in technologies and national programmes to better harness the value of integrated data analytics for preventive medicine and longevity through our academic - industry R&D partnerships.

At this Longevity Week event ARK is additionally pleased to host the launch of the journal Longevity (published by Taylor & Francis), the new official journal of the European Society of Preventive Medicine. The journal will be a leading forum for high impact publications across the broad spectrum of translational and integrative science, clinical studies, policy engagement, health economics, entrepreneurship and innovation in healthy longevity and preventive medicine. Affiliated journal partners include Ageing Research at King's, Longevity Science Foundation, CERN Openlab, Switzerland,  Institute for Systems Biology, USA and Shanghai Institute for Systems Biomedicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.
