Awarded in support of training for dissertation proposal titled "Molecular phenotyping of the yeast replicative life span response to genetic and environmental modulators"

Senescence and life span modulation are crucial biological processes for all cellular life, controlled through tightly regulated molecular mechanisms. Many of these mechanisms and their modulation are evolutionary conserved, including dietary restriction (DR) and inhibition of the mTOR signaling pathway. While there… Show more

Awarded in support of training for dissertation proposal titled "Molecular phenotyping of the yeast replicative life span response to genetic and environmental modulators"

Senescence and life span modulation are crucial biological processes for all cellular life, controlled through tightly regulated molecular mechanisms. Many of these mechanisms and their modulation are evolutionary conserved, including dietary restriction (DR) and inhibition of the mTOR signaling pathway. While there are likely multiple cellular processes through which such life span modulators act, the full range of molecular phenotypes that cells display as they age under different contexts and genetic backgrounds remains to be characterized. Budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are an excellent model system for this application, as replicative life span (RLS), the number of times a mother cell buds before reaching senescence, is a quantifiable measure of aging that can be collected for yeast on experimental timescales. For my dissertation research, I propose to use state-of-the-art biochemical and proteomic tools to characterize the molecular phenotypes of life span extension in yeast. Show less

The goal of our program is to train new independent investigators who will utilize molecular and genetic techniques to investigate the biology of aging. The objective this research is to elucidate the basic mechanisms underlying the process of aging and age-related changes in humans and in animal models of human aging. This includes investigations of the mechanisms responsible for the gradual or programmed alterations of structure and function that characterize normal aging, as well as how… Show more

The objective this research is to elucidate the basic mechanisms underlying the process of aging and age-related changes in humans and in animal models of human aging. This includes investigations of the mechanisms responsible for the gradual or programmed alterations of structure and function that characterize normal aging, as well as how these adverse changes become risk factors for, or accompany, age-related conditions and disease states Show less

The NIH/NHGRI Genome Training Grant prepares pre and postdoctoral trainees for research careers in acquiring and interpreting genomic data and using this information in biomedical research. We recognize that this type of research will demand interdisciplinary approaches and multidisciplinary collaborations. One goal of this program is to attract individuals from the physical sciences and engineering to the forefront of modern biological research. The program also trains cellular and molecular… Show more

We recognize that this type of research will demand interdisciplinary approaches and multidisciplinary collaborations. One goal of this program is to attract individuals from the physical sciences and engineering to the forefront of modern biological research. The program also trains cellular and molecular biologists in other disciplines so that they can effectively collaborate at this interdisciplinary interface. Show less
