It is part of the Lifelong Health and Wellbeing (LLHW) programme funded by the UK Research Councils.

The Centre is developing new programmes of research around factors involved in lifelong health and vitality. The key objectives of the Centre are to explore the mechanisms involved in brain ageing and the mechanisms specifically relating to musculoskeletal and brain ageing, with particular emphasis on the effects of diet and exercise.

The Centre provides a high quality environment for research training, and is committed to building research capacity by appointing young scientists whose major focus is ageing research.
