Project
Fidelity of translation in healthy aging
I will study the molecular mechanisms underlying longevity and healthy aging in Caenorhabditis elegans, which could contribute to solutions of the aging human population. Specifically, I will decipher the role of ribosomal subunits in translation fidelity and healthy aging, test longevity-extending compounds, and confirm my C. elegans results in human cell lines.
