The role of ROS signaling and redox state in the aging process of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans Ghent University
The last decade many studies have shown that aging is correlated with but not caused by oxidative stress. Many of these studies have been performed in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. In dit research project we want to assess the role of redox signaling on the aging process of this nematode. This will be performed using genetically encoded sensors.
