Geroscience Training Program in Oklahoma
Description: NARRATIVE Aging and diseases associated with age clearly result in dependence and a severe reduction in health-span; however, without a clear understanding of the interactions between aging and disease, effective therapies cannot be developed. Our training program in GeroScience was initiated in 2017 to fill this void and train the next generation of researchers to address the complex causes of aging and their interactions with age-related disease. Based on our outstanding success, current census and plans for continued expansion of our program, we have increased our mentoring faculty to 21 and are requesting one additional position to continue our training program.
