Role of Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Animal Aging
Description: Project Narrative Advanced age is the greatest risk factor for the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease. We are using the powerful genetics of the fruit fly Drosophila to better understand the biological mechanisms of aging. The long-term goal of this research is to provide novel therapeutic targets to counteract age-related human diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.
