🧬 Join the SIRT6 Study at the National University of Singapore

Help advance research on healthy ageing and discover more about your own health. This study is investigating how a natural brown seaweed derived supplement may activate SIRT6 which is a key regulator of DNA repair, metabolism, and longevity to support healthier ageing and improve strength.

What you'll receive:
✅ In-depth health assessments, including biological age, metabolic health, cognition, vascular health, and skin health
✅Receive reimbursement (voucher) for your time and participation

Singapore’s shifting demographics mean we have to constantly rethink how we approach ageing, moving beyond just clinical care to focus heavily on behavioural change and public education.

As part of the Healthy Longevity Talent Incubator Open Day 2026 by the NUS Academy for Healthy Longevity, we have outlined four highly relevant "Singapore City Missions" that truly hit close to home 🇸🇬:

✅ Mission 1: Musculoskeletal ageing in mid-life adults in Singapore
✅ Mission 2: Supplements, Not Substitutes: Supplement reliance over evidence-based lifestyle interventions in Singapore
✅ Mission 3: Longevity, Behaviour Change and the Hawker Plate
✅ Mission 4: Sleep Health Knowledge and Self-Perception in Singapore

Join us on 9 July, 9:30am at the NUS Campus, Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium for a deep dive into these four topics to hear about our field study findings and discuss how we can translate these insights into effective community engagement. 🙌

Your smartwatch gives you a daily health score, but what does it really reveal about how fast your body is aging? 🧬🔬

⏰ Before buying into the latest consumer longevity hype, read this Forbes article to find out what the science actually says about measuring your cellular health:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/juergeneckhardt/2026/06/23/what-to-know-about-tests-that-promise-to-reveal-your-biological-age/

💡 Featuring expert insights from Prof. Andrea Maier, Director & Co-founder of the NUS Academy for Healthy Longevity and Dr. David Furman, Professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging: biological age is not a diagnosis, and no single biomarker can capture the complexity of human aging.

The concept of biological age, distinct from chronological age, is gaining public traction, though often misinterpreted. "Aging clocks" are real, but beware of hype.

🎓 Last chance to join the Graduate Certificate in Healthy Longevity!

We are excited to announce that there are only 2 seats remaining for the upcoming Graduate Certificate in Healthy Longevity programme.

The application window will remain open for one more week, and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

This programme offers an opportunity to explore the science of ageing and approaches in longevity medicine, bringing together science with clinical practical applications.

🌱 If you are interested in becoming part of the next generation of healthy longevity professionals, now is the time to apply!

📅 Applications close the 24th of June or once all places are filled.

, and !
You are invited to the Healthy Longevity Talent Incubator open day of the NUS Academy for Healthy Longevity at the National University of Singapore!

On 9 July 2026, our HLTI participants will take the stage to present the findings from the Singapore City Missions, where they explored what healthy longevity means to everyday Singaporeans and how public perceptions align, or sometimes diverge, from the science.

Keynote speaker: Dr Angeline Tay, L'Oréal
• Skin longevity: from cellular biology to evidence-based interventions

Emerging leader presentations:
• Sleep knowledge versus perceived sleep quality.
• Muscle strength and healthy ageing perceptions.
• Supplements: support or substitute for a healthy lifestyle?
• Nutrition knowledge and food choices in Singapore's hawker culture.

We are moving beyond the laboratory and engage directly with society!

📅 9 July 2026
🕤 09:30–13:00

· Gerointerventions
Examine current and emerging approaches to promote healthy longevity, including lifestyle, environmental, nutraceutical, pharmacological, and other gerotherapeutic strategies.
