Anti-Aging Research (C. elegans and aged MIce)

Our Anti-Aging research utilizes the nematode C. elegans as a model organism to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate longevity and age-related decline.

Pioneering Anti-Aging Research: Unlocking the Secrets of Longevity. At the forefront of anti-aging research, our team is exploring groundbreaking approaches to uncover new substances that promote healthy aging. Using C. elegans and aged mice as our primary models, we are screening innovative compounds, including plasmalogens and their derivatives, to combat the effects of aging and improve lifespan and healthspan.
Our research integrates cutting-edge techniques in genetics, epigenetics, and advanced bioinformatics to decode the complex mechanisms of aging. We utilize genetically modified C. elegans to study key signaling pathways and identify molecular targets that influence longevity. By combining these insights with studies in aged mice, we aim to bridge the gap between fundamental research and potential therapeutic applications.
Through a multidisciplinary approach, we are not just studying the aging process—we are actively working to reshape its narrative by identifying and validating substances that could redefine the way we age. Stay tuned as we continue to make strides in the quest for a healthier, longer life!
