Please welcome, ASSOCIATE professor Eranthie Weerapana!

My friend Eranthie, who despises having so much as her photo taken, was requested by Boston College's Institute on Aging to have a video produced describing a branch of her research program that looks for longevity-related protein activities in C. elegans. She asked for help with the graphics so I did my best to fill the screen time with animations for her. I cannot take credit for the stock photos or the footage of real C. elegans, those were added by someone else. This ambitious project was wrapped up over the holidays by a Christmas miracle, but was just recently posted. Oh and in the meantime, by the way, just a little thing, she GOT TENURE!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

BC Talks Aging - Module VII: Biological Pathways Despite decades of scientific investigation, we still have a limited understanding of the molecular-level changes that occur during aging. This module will provide an overview of the biological pathways that regulate lifespan, focusing on studies performed on the soil nematode, C. elegans.
