Research areas:
Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
Areas of expertise:
Molecular genetics of aging. To understand the mechanisms that govern the life span of animals, we use the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as well as mice and human cells in culture to identify and characterize genes that affect physiological rates, including the rate of aging.
