The Center for Aging & Developmental Biology
The University of Rochester's Center for Aging and Developmental Biology is
one of four recipients of a grant from the National Institute on Aging
(NIA) declaring it a Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic
Biology of Aging. Named for Dr. Nathan Wetherell Shock these centers
are designed to stimulate and enhance research into the basic biological
processes of aging, and to facilitate the planning and coordination
of research on aging activities. Additionally, the centers provide
a suitable environment for fellows and junior faculty to acquire research
skills and experience at institutions that have demonstrated a commitment
to, and expertise in, basic biology of aging research. Ultimately,
research at Nathan Shock Centers is expected to yield breakthroughs
in understanding the course of normal aging and diseases and conditions
that affect older people, such as frailty and cancer.
WHO WAS NATHAN SHOCK?
Nathan Wetherell Shock, Ph.D., the first scientific director of the
NIA, pioneer in the field of aging and developer of the Baltimore
Longitudinal Study of Aging began his gerontology career in 1941 as
the chief of the newly formed Unit on Gerontology of the Division
of Physiology of the then five year old National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Shock's work as head of the Gerontology Branch (now the Gerontology
Research Center, or GRC) established the science of gerontology in
America as a rigorous scientific discipline. He was a founder and
president of the International Association of the Gerontological Society
of America. Officially retiring in 1977, Dr. Shock continued his work
as Scientist Emeritus until his death in 1989.
THEMATIC FOCUS OF THE ROCHESTER NATHAN SHOCK CENTER
The focus of the University of Rochester Nathan Shock Center is basic
molecular and cellular biology of aging. This includes molecular and
genetic approaches to normative senescence and dysfunction including
age-related diseases. This emphasis on cellular and genetic approaches
maximizes the synergy with newly recruited investigators to the Aab
Institute for Biomedical Research and in particular to the Center
for Aging and Developmental Biology.
FOUR FOLD PURPOSE OF THE ROCHESTER NATHAN SHOCK CENTER
(1) To enhance the quality of research in the basic biology of
aging: The Nathan Shock Center adds an important dimension to
the research environment at the University of Rochester by providing
access to catalytic resources, thus amplifying the University's investment
in research. Through the Nathan Shock Center, newly recruited and
extant faculty have access to cutting edge core facilities required
to expand their research efforts on basic biology related to aging.
(2) To facilitate planning and coordination of research on aging
activities:The Nathan Shock Center is an important conduit connecting
our basic research faculty with diverse programs in translational
and clinical aging research across the University of Rochester. The
marked enhancements provided by the Nathan Shock Center facilitates
coordination of our aging community in two tangible ways. First, the
Core Resources stimulate interactions between scientists using sophisticated
molecular and cellular methods. Second, the Research Development Core
provides for faculty enrichment that leads to discussions and collaborations
between basic, translation and clinical scientists, thereby linking
and augmenting research programs in aging.
(3) To establish regional and national technologies as a resource
in gerontology:Through the activities of the Core Resources unique
and valuable resources have been established within the Nathan Shock
Center that have made us a regional resource.
(4) To create an environment for faculty growth in aging research:Our
Research Development Core, creates a suitable environment for junior
faculty and other investigators new to aging research to acquire research
skills and experience. These purposes are served by a structure of
Nathan Shock Senior Faculty that select Nathan Shock Junior Faculty
for support, provide funding from institutional resources, select
Pilot Projects for funding, assure junior faculty access to facilities
needed for their research, and mentor junior faculty by monitoring
their progress and guiding their career development. A collegial,
intellectual environment for faculty development is enhanced by didactic
seminars, visiting scholars and a yearly research retreat.
