What can you expect from MoleQlar Magazine?
Research has always tried to decipher the processes behind disease and ageing. However, the findings are often difficult to understand and classify. We want to change that. Science asks why, why, why. We do that too. But we want to answer complicated questions simply. In the magazine, we want to build a bridge between the biology and biochemistry of ageing and society and thus create an awareness of the body and how it works. Because ageing comes in instalments and we ourselves can help determine the level of these instalments.
We believe that knowledge is the best life insurance and that science belongs to all who want it.
