Research interests include a broad range of projects designed to investigate theories of the biology of aging and age-related diseases. A major effort is the development of mouse models that will provide more precise correlations for human biology and disease processes associated with aging including cancer, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease.
