2/25/11 – New center for research on aging established with grant from Glenn Foundation
“There is something about age that predisposes us to disease,” said Thomas Rando, MD, PhD, a professor of neurology and neurological sciences, and Deputy Director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, who will serve as the director of the new center. “If we could somehow figure out the mechanisms of aging and are able to intervene, it would potentially offer therapy to a wide variety of diseases — not just cancer, heart disease or Alzheimer’s, but all of them.”
