Costs of attending the course, including travel, housing, and meals at MBL, are fully supported by the Ellison Medical Foundation.
A three-week lecture and laboratory course featuring the newest and most exciting ideas in aging research, with emphasis on molecular approaches. A distinguished faculty will interact with approximately 20 students via lecture, discussion, hands-on experiments, and analysis of data. Lecture topics encompass model systems (yeast, Drosophila and C. elegans); mitochondrial defects and oxidative stress, DNA mutations and repair; telomeres and cellular senescence; mammalian aging; and evolutionary considerations. Laboratory exercises will examine aging in the models systems—C. elegans and laboratory mice; DNA changes in old versus young animals including mitochondrial, ribosomal, and other DNA species; mammalian aging in old versus young mice and in various mutant strains.
