Biology of aging?

Graduate School
1

<p>Anyone here looking to work on the biology of aging? What schools are you considering attending? If you made a choice, what factors led to your decision? </p>

<p>I’m trying to decide between Harvard BBS, Stanford Genetics, UCSF Neuroscience, UTHSCSA IMGP Biology of Aging Track, and University of Washington-Seattle Pathology and am having a very difficult time since each program does amazing aging research.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>While I’m not looking to work on the biology of aging, I can share how I chose which program to attend. Hopefully this will be at least somewhat useful:</p>

<p>Cynthis Kenyon at UCSF is probably the most well known person in aging field.
Harvard has Selkoe DJ and Bruce Yankner.</p>

<p>Salk also has Andrew Dillin, who is doing very exciting work in that field, but you would need to go to UCSD for that.</p>

<p>Thanks but I have already considered all the general criteria. I’m looking more specifically for details from those who have gone into these programs and/or want to work in the biology of aging.</p>

<p>Thanks shnjb. I’m definitely considering those people. Unfortunately, I didn’t apply to UCSD :-(</p>

<p>I don’t know which program would have the most # of PI’s doing aging although I would guess Harvard.</p>

<p>For quantity of people I’m interested in Harvard and UTHSCSA have the most. I guess the real problem is that there are so many amazing researchers but they’re all spread out! I want to go everywhere…</p>
