BIOL 417 - Seminar: Why Humans Aren’t Immortal: Molecular Mechanisms of Aging

FC NSMA QFR WADV
4 credits
This student-led, discussion-based course will cover the breadth of molecular mechanisms that underlie the aging process. We will discuss how laboratory findings have been translated into human populations, including various biotechnologies and popularized lifestyle interventions purported to offset aging. Students will develop skills in reading primary scientific literature and in both written and oral scientific communication. The topics covered will introduce students to a variety of methodologies used not only in the aging field but across molecular medicine disciplines.
