Ph.D. Project Description:
|
My project will focus on vascular aging using a mouse model in which a protein co-chaperone, CHIP (C-Terminus of Hsp70-interacting Protein), is knocked out. CHIP plays a significant role in protein triage and as a result of its absence mice exhibit an accelerated aging phenotype that presents an excellent opportunity to examine the effects of aging on vasculature at the physiologial and molecular levels. | |
