Dr Dillin’s laboratory works on the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate aging and aging-related disease, using both the nematode worm C. elegans and the mouse as model systems. By elucidating the shared genetic pathways that regulate longevity both in lower organisms and mammals, we aim to uncover new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of age-related pathologies including diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s.
