Free online webinar on ‘Learning How to Get Old: A Balance of Immunity and Autoimmunity’ by Prof. Eoin Mckinney, University of Cambridge
This talk explores groundbreaking research on immune ageing, analysing data from over 6,700 individuals to reveal how immune traits change across the lifespan. Using machine learning, Eoin’s work identifies "immune age" as a predictor of mortality, independent of chronological age, and highlights key immune mechanisms linked to survival. Genetic analyses further uncover connections between immune ageing and autoimmune diseases, offering new insights into ageing and longevity.
