Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing

Overview

The Institute acts as an information hub for research on ageing at The University of Manchester. We link academics across the University and serves as an entry point for those interested in our research. As the UK’s largest single campus University, Manchester boasts a comprehensive range of disciplines.

MICRA works with academics from any discipline interested in research on ageing, and promotes ageing as a focus for research. Areas include architecture, economics, engineering, history, life sciences, medicine and sociology. MICRA researchers are leaders in their fields in the UK and internationally
