Biology of Aging explores the molecular mechanisms regulating human aging. Topics include general biology of aging, genetics of longevity, cellular aging, human longevity, and potential interventions to modulate human aging. Emphasis will be placed on age-related diseases as well, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. In the laboratory component, we will examine genetic and pharmacological ways to regulate lifespan of the model organism, c. elegans.
Prereq: BIOL-210 and BIOL-220.; Coreq: BIOL-321BAL.
