Established in 2020 with funding from the National Institute of Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, the San Diego Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging is a consortium of Sanford Burnham Prebys, Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of California San Diego.
The center focuses on the heterogeneity of aging, the fact that cells, organs and people age at different rates and that this “biological age” is a better indicator of an individual’s susceptibility to age-related declines and diseases.
The center provides resources to scientist-members to develop new human cell models of aging, enabling deeper analyses of molecular, cellular and tissue heterogeneity and support of basic biology of aging research through development, training and mentoring activities.
