Award for research on peroxisome-mitochondrion communication in tissue aging funded by the National Institute on Aging, involving advanced molecular biology techniques to study cellular aging mechanisms.
Description
The project focuses on the role of peroxisome-mitochondrion communication in tissue aging. The award is funded by the National Institute on Aging. The project involves advanced techniques such as CRISPR genome editing, organelle proteomics, and metabolomics. The project aims to understand how peroxisomal import declines with age and its impact on cellular aging. The project includes three specific aims related to peroxisomal function and lipid biosynthesis.
