Speaker: Suzanne Angeli, PhD, Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Maine
About the speaker: I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana to Honduran-immigrant parents. I received my B.S. in Cell and Molecular biology. I attended graduate school at University of California, San Francisco, where I studied the group of genetically inherited neurodegenerative diseases known as polyglutamine diseases. For my postdoctoral studies, I incorporated how aging contributes to age-related diseases using C. elegans as a model.
About the seminar: Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the most prominent contributions to aging. Different tissues can regulate aging at different rates. I will discuss how the reproductive germline contributes to our understanding of aging in the context of mitochondrial dysfunction.
