Nathan Shock Center Workshop of the Comparative Biology of Aging
Workshop - Farmington, United States
The long-term goal of the JAX Shock Center is to focus Jackson Laboratory researchers’ diverse expertise in biology and genomics on problems of aging, leading to the development of enhanced resources for the aging research community and a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms at work in lifespan and healthspan. The JAX Shock Center has transformed aging research at The Jackson Laboratory by providing unique resources necessary to enable a systems-wide approach to understanding healthspan and aging processes.
The Center is developing and disseminating the next generation of genetic, statistical, and information resources necessary to foster research into age-related diseases and human healthspan. The Center has developed nascent regional and national resources for aging research. All Center data is publically disseminated on the Mouse Phenome Database; genetic maps, novel statistical methods and aging mouse resources and tissues are available, supporting investigators throughout the aging research community.
Purpose of the Workshop
The workshop will bring together a multidisciplinary group of leading scientists and trainees studying diverse organisms including humans and addressing leading edge questions in aging. The workshop will be held at UConn Health Center Auditorium. Plenary lectures, poster sessions, and discussion groups that utilize diverse model and non-model organisms and comparative bioinformatics approaches are key components of the workshop.
