Dr. Murphy’s lab is focused on a few main areas of research that all focus on quality of life with age, using C. elegans to model human aging. 1) How is reproductive span regulated, and how does that relate to the regulation of longevity? 2) How can cognitive decline be slowed? 3) How does the insulin/IGF-1 Signaling/FOXO pathway and its interactions regulate longevity, reproductive span, and cognitive decline? Dr. Murphy’s seminar focused on reproductive span and how this relates to lifespan.
