Aging Center Members

Investigates how alternative RNA splicing contributes to cancer with the goal of identifying novel clinical biomarkers and targets for precision medicine.

Dr. Bartley studies translational research into human aging with a focus on how immune responses and physical function decline as we get older.

The Bloss Lab uses various genetic, structural and functional approaches to understand how synaptic connectivity among cortical cell types underlies behaviorally-relevant neural computations.

Employs a systems approach to investigate the genetics of health and disease and complex disease-related traits in the mouse.

Dr. Haynes is a prominent figure in the field of immunology, particularly in the context of aging and its effects on immune responses.

Applies genetics and genomics approaches to study age-related neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and glaucoma.

Studies the genetics of kidney function and disease, particularly in the context of aging, using genetically diverse mouse models.

Multidisciplinary approaches to the study of aging emphasizing inter-individual variability and resilience mechanisms pertaining to mobility, voiding, cognition and host defense.

Conducts research to understand how vaccines work and to define precisely the immune mechanisms that underlie vaccination, with a focus on cancer immunotherapies.

Investigates evolution, development, and disease relevant to the human condition utilizing advanced molecular, cellular, and stem cell biology approaches.

Investigates the role of genetic variation and the immune system in tissue repair, focusing on cardiovascular and skeletal muscle disease

My laboratory studies the fundamental biology of aging. Age is the primary risk factor for the most prevalent diseases in our society, including cancer.

Researches regulation of stem cells in the blood in normal development, aging and leukemia transformation.

Develops computational models using genome datasets to study gene regulation and identify hypotheses for genomic medicine.

Understand the genetic and neurobiological basis of complex behaviors that are important in psychiatric conditions such as addiction, ADHD, and depression using genomic, neural circuit, and computational tools.

Machine learning for complex trait analysis.

Members of the Paust laboratory are interested in the development and testing of novel immunotherapies that elicit clinically relevant Natural Killer cell-mediated anti-pathogen or anti-tumor immunity.

Interrogating the host immunity, microbiome and their interface using different engineering tools in the context of infectious diseases, autoimmunity and cancer.
