Biography: Susana Ganhão-Arranhado was born in Lisbon in 1987 and was raised between Lisbon and Alentejo. She graduated in Nutrition Sciences in 2009 from the Higher Institute of Health Sciences Egas Moniz, then completed her Master's Degree in Palliative Care at the Faculty of Medicine of Porto and holds a PhD in Gerontology and Geriatrics, with a specialization in Geriatrics from the Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences. 

Susana Ganhão-Arranhado served as an Invited Assistant Lecturer in Faculty of Medicine of University of Oporto and in ISCSEM and is a certified trainer and tutor of undergraduate students. She develops her activity in Clinical Nutrition, specifically in areas such as geriatrics, artificial nutritional therapy, malnutrition and wounds, continued care, palliative care and cerebral palsy.

Biography: Professor Landi is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Geriatric at the Catholic University of Sacred Heart, in Rome.

He is a member of scientific committee of the Italian Geriatric Society. Francesco Landi is a member of the editorial board of several International geriatric journals and also a peer reviewer for numerous International medical journals. He has acted as the principal investigator in many multicenter national and international trials. He is a member of national and international expert groups that work on guidelines in the field of nutrition and functionality in elderly subjects.

Research Interest: Allergic Phlogosis, Geriatrics and Immune System, Lipidology and the Immune System, Integrators in Gerontology. Allergy and Allergical Bronchial Asthma, Immune-Modulating Therapy, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Physiopathology of the Immune System and Mucosal Immunity with Particular Reference to the Elderly.

Dr. Malavolta started his experience in biogerontology in 2001 working in mathematical modelling of the aging process, under the guidance of Dr. Lucio Piantanelli at INRCA, and achieved the PhD in “Nutrition and Health” at the University of Ancona. He continued his work in the field of biogerontology at INRCA focusing on mechanisms of aging and rejuvenation research (Dr. Mocchegiani group). He deeply contributed to improve the knowledge on the role of zinc and metallothioneins in longevity and provided the first evidence that constitutive overexpression of metallothioneins extend the lifespan of mice.  He is currently working and planning strategies to target basic aging mechanisms, including cellular senescence, with the aim to prevent, halt, or reverse diseases of aging.
