👉 Cornell Research on Aging, often referred to as the Cornelian Research Group, is a long-standing interdisciplinary research initiative focused on understanding the biological processes underlying aging and age-related diseases. Founded in 1976 at Cornell University by Dr. Robert Horvitz and Dr. Michael Rosbash, among others, the research group has made significant contributions to the field of aging through a combination of genetic, molecular, and cellular studies. The group's work spans various aspects of aging, including telomere biology, circadian rhythms, metabolism, and neurodegeneration. By integrating insights from genetics, neuroscience, and biochemistry, researchers at Cornell have identified key mechanisms that influence longevity and age-related decline, aiming to develop interventions that could extend healthspan and potentially lifespan. Their findings have not only advanced scientific understanding but also informed clinical trials and therapeutic strategies targeting aging and age-related conditions.
