Research Interests

Dr Clancy's work is aimed at achieving extension of healthy lifespan. Much of this involves investigating the basic biology of ageing, which includes a search for reliable predictive biomarkers of ageing, from the behavioural to the molecular. To understand the contribution of genetics to ageing, he is using the model organism Drosophila, misexpressing potentially ageing-relevant genes during adulthood only, thus mimicking drug treatment.
