Award for research on DNA methylation signatures in aged astrocytes related to Alzheimer's disease, funded by the National Institute on Aging.
Description
The project aims to develop an 'age-in-a-dish' model of human astrocytes to study DNA methylation and transcriptional signatures related to Alzheimer's disease. The research involves direct conversion of fibroblasts to astrocytes, capturing age-associated cellular phenotypes. The project is funded by the NIH, specifically the National Institute on Aging.
