USC-Buck Geroscience Training in the Biology of Aging
Description: Narrative The world's aging societies require solutions for debilitating and costly chronic diseases that rob people of the joy of their `golden years,' and threaten to overwhelm both the capacity of the medical establishment and the treasuries of national governments. Ultimately, the solutions to these problems will lie in preventative measures or actual cures for diseases such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, coronary artery disease, diabetes, late onset cancers, rheumatoid and arthritic diseases, stroke, respiratory diseases, and susceptibility to infectious bacteria and viruses (e.g. COVID-19). This Geroscience program in the Biology of Aging prepares researchers to discover the mechanistic complexities and causes of aging and of age-related diseases, and to design rational preventative measures or cures for clinical testing.
