Learning objectives
In this course, a general overview of the molecular pathways involved in senescence will be provided. Students will be presented with the main biotech approaches presently proposed to slow and revert the aging process in veterinary and human species. An overview of animal models used in aging research will be presented as well. Theoretical lessons will be supported by practical laboratory sessions to encourage student competence and hands-on skills.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student acquires the fundamental knowledge on the molecular mechanisms involved in aging related processes and their pathologies. She/he is able to use the latest biotech approaches to prevent/revert senescence and can identify the best animal models to be used.
