Copy of Aging Research

Aging Research at UNC Charlotte integrates molecular, cellular and organismal approaches to understand the fundamental mechanisms that drive aging and age-associated disease. The focus group brings together researchers working on stress responses, proteostasis, genome integrity, metabolism, immunity and disease (age-associated disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease) with the goal to identifying cross-disciplinary synergies and advancing collaborative research in aging and longevity at UNC Charlotte and beyond.
