Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program - Buck Institute
Description: Project Narrative—Health Relevance The Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program has been established to identify pharmacological interventions that improve the length of life and/or the quality of aging. By testing genetically diverse animal models, this study seeks to identify interventions likely to be efficacious in a diverse human population. This study may ultimately lead to treatments that protect against physical deterioration, cognitive decline, and disease susceptibility in the elderly human population.
