After my
MSc I went to Italy to help establish
Nothobranchius killifish as model
organisms for aging research. My work in Italy is discussed in the two publications:
Annual fishes of the genus Nothobranchius as a
model system for aging research (Genade et al, Aging
Cell (2005) 4 , pp223–233) and Resveratrol Prolongs
Lifespan and Retards the Onset of Age-Related Markers in a
Short-Lived Vertebrate (Valenzano et al Current Biology
(2006) 16, pp1–5). Abstracts are available on Pubmed. Any
questions, feel free to ask.
How the fish were raised in captivity is discussed in the
document: LABORATORY MANUAL FOR CULTURING N.
furzeri (113kb) by T. Genade at http://www.nothobranchius.info.
My Thesis on N. guentheri aging can be downloaded here (10 mb). My current research can be found on my Northwestern College webpage. All my research outputs are available at Google Scholar.
My MSc thesis concerned the construction
of a mathematical model of adrenal steroid production.
