Prof.dr. Slagboom's expertise is in Biological Thought, focusing on the area of human biology in ageing. Prof.dr. Eline Slagboom has been gathering multi-generational data on a number of families for over 20 years, intending to find out why some people age faster than others. When a person is 65 or 70, improving their health through exercise, nutrition, biorhythm, sleep, and social networking is still possible. Biomarkers can measure the progress of improving one's health. Prof.dr. Eline Slagboom is working on answering questions such as: Can biomarkers be used to detect individuals who age rapidly and are biologically vulnerable early on? What should be done with that knowledge in society and the clinic? With such knowledge, one can more accurately establish individiuals' biological age and offer the best possible treatment or lifestyle advice.
Leiden Convention Bureau congratulates prof.dr. Eline Slagboom for achieving this remarkable success.
