CCST9060- Exploring Human Longevity
Title
CCST9060- Exploring Human Longevity
Subject
Scientific and Technological Literacy
Description
In this course, we will explore the intersection between science, technology, ageing and longevity. Reviewing how modern medicine and science have already influenced a longer human lifespan, we will take an evidence-based approach to evaluate the science behind ageing and the promise of emerging technologies relating to prolonging life, ageing, and chronic diseases.
