*New* Biomarker Working Group: DNA Methylation and Epigenetic Clocks (8/1/24)

Posted: 7/25/2024 ()

Date: Thursday, August 1, 2024
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Location: Raitt 223 and https://washington.zoom.us/j/91571954774

Please join the CSDE Biomarker Working Group for an upcoming discussion on DNA methylation and epigenetic clocks as biomarkers of aging! Special guest, Dr. Calen Ryan (Associate Research Scientist and Senior Data Scientist, Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University) will present an overview of how epigenetic clocks are used in research on biological aging. Following the presentation, there will be time for questions and discussions of how DNA methylation data and methods might be applied to your research interests. From some background reading, please check out this review paper by Dr. Ryan.

The Biomarker Working Group meets on the first Thursday of each month. Please contact Tiffany Pan (tpan@uw.edu) for more information.
