The work to identify the genes of centenarians was begun by JosÃ© Pedro Castro at Harvard Medical School and finalised at i3S.

A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School (USA), including JosÃ© Pedro Castro, now a researcher at i3S, has discovered that centenarians have genes without dysfunctional mutations. These so-called â€˜longevity genesâ€™, which appear to be hereditary, are described in an article published in Nature Communications and pave the way for developing pharmacological strategies for healthy ageing.
