This project focuses on developing the roundworm C. elegans as a model organism to study healthspan, the period of life free from serious disease. It aims to explore genetic and environmental factors affecting healthspan, facilitating rapid assessments of potential health interventions.
Healthspan (the life period when one is generally healthy and free from serious disease) depends on nature (genetic make-up) and nurture (environmental influences, from the earliest stages of development throughout life).
Genetic studies increasingly reveal mutations and polymorphisms that may affect healthspan.
Similarly, claims abound about lifestyle modifications or treatments improving healthspan.
In both cases, rigorous testing is hampered by the long lifespan of model organisms like mice (…
