Dr Dave Clancy

Lecturer

Planned work

• Metabolomics of ageing in the mouse (BBSRC funding application in review)
• Developing non-destructive biomarkers of age in Drosophila (U/G or MSc project, or PhD project)
• Effect on healthy lifespan of overexpressing a transcription factor, Suppressor of zeste (2), during adulthood.
• Examining the role of membrane lipids in ageing (U/G or MSc project, or PhD project)
• Cryogenic preservation of Drosophila embryos (U/G or MSc project, or PhD project)
• How does early life diet affect lifespan in Drosophila? (U/G or MSc project, or PhD project)

Interested students should email me for further information and reading on these topics, or come and see me. Note that currently, PhD students would need to be self-supporting.
