Organ-Specific Vulnerability to Aging and age-related diseases in Response to Various Exposures

Lay summary

Aging is a natural and complex process where organisms lose homeostasis and become more vulnerable to illnesses. We want to study how organs, different parts of the body, are affected by factors such as dietary choices, exercise routine, medication usage , emotional well-being, and underlying health conditions as we age. We also want to understand the role of our genes in organ aging. This research is expected to  take about three years. The findings will help us better understand how our bodies and organs age and how we can tailor strategies to stay healthy and reduce the impact of these factors on our bodies as we grow older
