If you are interested, please contact Dr. Hou directly – Please see the announcement below： Graduate Student Recruitment The Animal Physiology Laboratory at the Department of Biological Sciences of Missouri University of Science and Technology is seeking master’s graduate students to participate in Metabolic Basis of Aging Research. In general our lab studies the energetics of growth, reproduction and health maintenance, and models the tradeoffs between these life history traits for understanding aging from the metabolic viewpoint. The lab currently has two projects in this area. In the first project, we try to develop a quantitative and predictive model for understanding the mechanisms underlying how food restriction extends animals’ lifespan. The second project focuses on the energy budget of reproduction. We try to understand the energetic basis of fecundity, gestation length, birth weight, and other traits associated with reproduction. I am looking for highly motivated students who have enthusiasm for science, and good communication skills in English, and have taken College Calculus I (or equivalent). It is expected that the student will start in the spring semester 2012. If you are interested in conducting research in my laboratory, please contact Professor Lin at [email protected]. ╔═══════════╗ ║Chen Hou, Ph.D. ║ ║Assistant Professor ║ ║E-Mail: [email protected] ║ ╙═══════════╝ Selected Publications in the Area of Metabolic Theory of Aging 1.C.
