Old Worms: What Nematodes Can Tell Us About Aging

What causes us to age? All organisms undergo changes as they age, but scientists are still trying to understand how and why these changes occur. Join us with Dr. Hannah Chapin of the University of Washington as she shares her research with tissue-specific changes in protein recycling, and how this affects the aging process in animals. We’ll discuss why aging happens, current research findings in the field, and how we can use this new knowledge to extend healthspan. Join us in this discussion over current questions, achievements, and challenges in the field of aging research.
