Healthspan versus lifespan: new medicines to close the gap

On 27 and 28 June 2022, the UK SPINE network ( www.kespine.org.uk ) held an in-person conference focusing on how new medicines could contribute to improving healthspan (healthy life years). The event facilitated knowledge exchange within the broader geroscience community by bringing together researchers and stakeholders from multiple sectors, including industry, academia, entrepreneurs, small-to-medium-sized enterprises, regulators, patients and carers, investors and policy makers.
