NIA Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program: identification of robust and reproducible pharmacological interventions that promote longevity across experimentally accessible, genetically diverse populations.

Abstract excerpt

A core facet of the National Institute on Aging's mission is to identify pharmacological interventions that can promote human healthy aging and long life. As part of the comprehensive effort toward that goal, the NIA Division of Biology of Aging established the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP) in 2013. The C. elegans model (with an ~ 21 day lifespan) has led the field in dissection of longevity...
