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.
