Title: The two faces of inflammation in longevity
Wednesday, 30 September 2026, 16:00 (GMT+1)
Host: Elsa Logarinho
José Pedro Castro obtained his PhD in Biomedicine from the University of Porto in 2015 and later joined Vadim Gladyshev's lab at Harvard Medical School as a DFG-Max Kade post-doctoral fellow to study aging, longevity and lifespan-extending interventions. He is currently a CEC Assistant Researcher in Elsa Logarinho's lab at i3S and Principal Investigator of nationally funded projects.
His work focuses on inflammation, biological age, age-related disease and regeneration, integrating experimental models with multi-omics and aging clocks. A central goal is to identify new dimensions of inflammation that distinguish resilient, regenerative responses from chronic maladaptive states and enable better biomarkers of healthy aging. His contributions include studies published in Science Advances, Cell, Nature Communications and Nature Aging, and he recently received the Rising Star Award in 2026. He also co-founded the Portuguese Society for Science and Longevity Medicine (SPMC-Long), where he serves as Vice-President.

New strategies to target cellular senescence
Wednesday, 28 October 2026, 16:00 (GMT+1)
Host: Elsa Logarinho
Manuel Collado obtained his BSc and PhD from the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (UAM). After his PhD, he moved first to London, UK, to work as a postdoc at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at the St Mary´s Branch, part of Imperial College School of Medicine, and then he moved to New York, USA, to join Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He returned to Spain to join Manuel Serrano´s lab, first at CNB and later at CNIO, both in Madrid. After almost 11 years in Serrano´s lab, Collado became group leader at the Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela, IDIS, where he established the Cell Senescence, Cancer and Aging lab in 2012. He recently got a permanent position as tenured senior scientist for the Spanish Research Council, CSIC, that he used to move his laboratory to the Center for Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CiMUS) of the University of Santiago de Compostela.
Collado is the president of the Spanish Society of Cell Senescence, SENESCEL, and has served as a steering committee member of the International Cell Senescence Association, ICSA, for 12 years.
