At CECAD, our mission is to enhance the public's understanding of the aging process and highlight significant research in this field. We offer a wide range of resources and events designed to engage and educate. Explore our detailed explanations of aging, view images from our cutting-edge research, and delve into our series of seminars, videos, and podcasts. More resources are available in the Media Library.

CECAD’s expertise spans various fields, including biomedical research, biochemistry, cell death, and mitochondrial studies, all accessible via the news and press releases section of our website.

Our events, such as the two annual retreats and the biannual Cologne Aging Conference featuring renowned international speakers, provide platforms for interaction and learning among the scientific community.

Every two years, CECAD hosts an "Open Day" in collaboration with our partner, the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing, inviting citizens and science enthusiasts of all ages to discover our research. Additionally, CECAD is committed to engaging the public through initiatives like SoapBox Science, Pint of Science, and Girls' and Boys' Day, which present science in accessible language while promoting visibility for equity and diversity topics.
