ERIBA

ERIBA (European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing) is a leading research institute dedicated to understanding the biological mechanisms of ageing. The institute is located in Groningen, Netherlands, and is affiliated with the University of Groningen and the University Medical Center Groningen.

History

ERIBA was established in 2013 with the aim of improving our understanding of the biological mechanisms of ageing. The institute was founded by the University of Groningen and the University Medical Center Groningen, with support from the European Union.

Research

ERIBA conducts research in various areas related to the biology of ageing. The institute's research is organized into several research groups, each focusing on a specific aspect of ageing biology. These include the Cellular Senescence group, the Genome Structure and Ageing group, and the Stem Cells and Ageing group.

The Cellular Senescence group studies the role of cellular senescence in ageing and age-related diseases. The Genome Structure and Ageing group investigates the changes in genome structure that occur during ageing and how these changes contribute to age-related diseases. The Stem Cells and Ageing group explores the role of stem cells in ageing and the development of age-related diseases.

Facilities

ERIBA is housed in a state-of-the-art research facility that includes laboratories, offices, and meeting rooms. The institute also has access to the extensive research facilities of the University of Groningen and the University Medical Center Groningen.

Collaboration

ERIBA collaborates with other research institutions and organizations around the world. These collaborations aim to advance our understanding of the biology of ageing and to develop new treatments for age-related diseases.
