New BBSRC Grant awarded to Dr Johnathan Labbadia to investigate new targets promoting healthy ageing

Dr Labbadia’s group will investigate the relationship between changes in the activity of protein quality control pathways and susceptibility to age-associated disease using the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system. The ultimate goal of the work is to provide new insight into the causes of age-associated tissue decline and reveal new targets to promote healthy human ageing.
