Beyond genotype to phenotype: how ancestor lifestyle impacts on lifespan variation in descendants (NoisyAgeing)

Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2020,

There are many examples in nature where inter-individual variability in life-history traits is exploited as an adaptive strategy. I and others have shown that inter-individual variability in the longevity pathways –and in particular, in stress response genes- has consequences for genetic/environmental phenotypic robustness as well as for lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. My main interest is to u ...

ToWards Immunisations that Last: the Immunology and Gerontology of Helper T cells (TWILIGHT)

Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2020,

A major accomplishment of modern society is the extension of human life expectancy. However, this creates a new challenge for medical science, to facilitate healthy ageing. With age, the function of the immune system declines, rendering older people more susceptible to infections and less able to benefit from vaccination. Indeed, improving vaccine efficacy is key to reducing infection-related mor ...

"The aim of this ITN is to promote research and training in the field of epigenetics associated with human disease. Expression of imprinted genes is mono-allelic and gamete of origin-dependent. This is due to different epigenetic modifications present on the maternal and paternal chromosomes. Failure in normal establishment, maintenance or erasure of these marks results in gene dosage dysregulatio ...
