FOCUS AREAS

Basic mechanisms of aging

Almost every aspect of Buck research starts here — and nearly every Buck project adds to our collective knowledge.

Our focus is aging

What drives the aging process? Genetics? Wear and tear? Toxic overload? At what point can we intercede? Moreover, how do particular aging mechanisms link to specific diseases? An understanding the underpinnings of the aging process are key to nearly every discovery. Faculty members eager to collaborate speed the work.
