Molecular Pathways of Aging

1 Credit · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Molecular Pathways of Age-Related Diseases: Understanding aging is critically important. Since time immemorial humans have tried in vain to intervene in the aging process. How is aging biochemically defined? In this course, we examine current practice that accelerate aging, molecular pathways implicated in age-related diseases, as well as the molecular basis of interesting anti-aging/health span-extension therapies currently available or poised to be launched in the near future. We will review the biochemistry and molecular biology underlying transformational therapeutics that will have an impact on your health span, and detail interesting, and emerging therapeutic pathways.
