Biology of Aging Course- 2023 Spring Semester

This course is an in-depth examination of current topics in the fields of aging and biogerontology, with a focus on human aging. Topics to be discussed include theories of aging, physiological, cellular, metabolomic, microbiome, and epigenetic changes that occur with aging, and nutritional and therapeutic interventions that affect the aging process. This year, we will focus on proteostasis and aging. Students will help direct the course by presenting and critiquing papers that they select from a curated list of current aging research literature.
