Research Focus
Dr. Richard A. Miller's lab at the University of Michigan focuses on understanding how certain interventions can extend the lifespan of mice, which may eventually lead to anti-aging treatments for humans. By testing different agents that affect aging processes, the lab hopes to discover new ways to promote health as we age. Their research uses a collaborative approach involving multiple institutions to test these interventions in a variety of settings, aiming to identify effective treatments that can delay age-related diseases.
