Funded Activity Summary
Investigating novel pathways in ferroptosis. This project aims to develop new tools to investigate iron-mediated cell death and uncover new pathways involved in ageing. Accumulation of iron leads to frailty in late life, a process that appears common to all animals. Iron becomes reactive and inappropriately triggers a cell death process called ferroptosis leading to dysfunction. To understand these processes and to identify means to intervene, this project aims to use genetic approaches to identify new cell pathways that regulate ferroptosis. This project also aims to develop new tools to study this process. Outcomes of this project may include the identification of potential strategies to alter late life frailty with an expected benefit to life sciences and biotechnology industries.Funded Activity Details
