This past week, IISAGE scientists from labs nationwide gathered at Brown University in Rhode Island for our annual NSF conference. It was a highly productive meeting where we shared updates, discussed our scientific progress, and made significant plans for the future of this amazing grant! 🪰 🔬 🧪

Our IISAGE trainees made a big presence at the Evolution 2025 conference this past week in Athens, GA, where they presented their incredible work on sex-biased aging within the animal kingdom! #evolution2025 🧬🪰🔬

IISAGE makes a presence at the 66th Annual Drosophila Research Conference! Our team of fly scientists showcased their work to the public, engaging the science community with recent discoveries regarding aging in the Drosophila species! 🪰 #Dros25

Check out our paper -> "TimeFlies: an snRNA-seq aging clock for the fruit fly head sheds light on sex-biased aging" currently in review at Scientific Reports doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Check out Dr. Wilkinson's team in action, doing fieldwork on big brown bats in Trinidad! 🦇🌿 #BatResearch #Fieldwork #AgingResearch #IISAGE

Great presentation from our institute director Dr. Nicole Riddle at PAG32! 🧬 #PAG2025 #AgingResearch

IISAGE hosted a workshop at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference (PAG) in San Diego, CA! The session, "Genomics and Epigenomics of Aging," highlighted recent breakthroughs in aging research across species. Big thanks to all the amazing speakers! #Genomics #AgingResearch #PAG2025

IISAGE is off to a strong start in 2025! Our team joined UAB's Biology Dept. at the SICB meeting, connecting with 150+ students and showcasing trainees' research to share IISAGE discoveries with the public! #SICB2025 #Research #IISAGE
