The research was inspired by work that had been done in other organisms like sopla. It's amazing that similarities between our 85 billion nuron brand and we can identify structures in the 300 nuron braas little worm doing same thiy. We just didn't get things from scratch exactly, that fellow wor that corset of proteins and genes that are used by every organism to carry out these tasks.
Aging -- everybody does it, very few people actually do something about it. Coleen Murphy is an exception. In her laboratory at Princeton, she and her team study aging in the famous C. Elegans roundworm, with an eye to extending its lifespan as well as figuring out exactly what processes take place when we age. In this episode we contemplate what scientists have learned about aging, and the prospects for ameliorating its effects -- or curing it altogether? -- even in human beings. Coleen Murphy received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Stanford University, and is currently Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute of Integrative Genomics at Princeton.
