Brief Biography:
I am a broadly trained physiologist interested in the comparative biology of aging at both the cellular and whole organism level. I received a BS in Biology from SUNY Geneseo in 1994, followed by a PhD in Zoology from the Universirty of Idaho where Steve Austad served as my mentor. In 2000, I went to the University of Michigan as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Pathology and was promoted to the faculty (research track) in 2004.
Academic positions:
Research Investigator, Department of Pathology
Research interests:
The effect of early life events, especially nutritional intake, on aging and longevity in mice. The role of cytotoxic and metabolic stress resistance as a modulator of species life span using primary cell lines.
What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:
It is a wonderful idea that will do much for research into aging, and the life sciences in general.
