CECAD was established in 2007 through the DFG-organized Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state government and has now entered its forth funding period, carried by strong and highly supportive partners: the University of Cologne (UoC) and its University Hospital, the Max Planck Institutes (MPI) for Biology of Ageing and for Metabolism Research, and the Helmholtz’ German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). CECAD’s work includes elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of aging in order to define new approaches for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of age-associated diseases including metabolic diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, renal failure, cancer and neuro- and other degenerative disorders.
