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.

CSDE Affiliate Kristian Jones recently co-authored an article with UW Department of Epidemiology Doctoral Candidate Julia Schleimer in the Seattle Times titled, “Violence Intervention Programs Need Time to Demonstrate Impact.” Dr. Jones and Schleimer are also a part of the UW Firearm Injury & Policy Research Program where they research recent investments in community violence intervention. The article contextualizes questions about whether rates of violence have changed as a result of investing in these interventions and whether it is reasonable to expect immediate changes.

The Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology is funded by the NIH to support affiliates in their research, computing needs, and publications. Affiliates that have used any of CSDE’s grant, computing, lab, mentoring, or event services and resources should link their corresponding publication to CSDE’s center grant in PubMed. It’s easy and it shows our sponsors what great work we are doing, which means we can better support you!
