We congratulate Network Institute researcher Dr. Ellen Droog, who is part of the BIO-COMPaSS consortium (BIOlogical age-driven, COMmunal, Personalized System for Sustainable health promotion) that has been awarded a €6.8 million grant from the NWA-route Sport en Bewegen. The project addresses one of the most pressing health challenges of our time: the growing gap between chronological age and biological age.
