This course will serve as an introduction to the biology of aging, focusing on the fundamental concepts of how we age that are common to most species, including rodents and humans.
The goals of the course are two-fold: (1) to provide a foundation of the fundamental concepts and terminology of aging and age-related diseases; and (2) to promote critical thinking of the clinical consequences of aging and associated diseases.
|Module 1||Defining Aging|
|Module 2||Biological Aging|
|Module 3||Physiology of Aging|
