Welcome to the lab wiki of the Integrative Genomics of Ageing Group. We are a highly interdisciplinary and international team, located in the heart of Liverpool (United Kingdom) and using in silico, in vitro as well as in vivo approaches to study the biology and genetics of ageing. The group's PI is Joao Pedro de Magalhaes, hence the name Mag Lab.
