Title: Molecular and cellular mechanism of human aging and progeroid syndromes
Abstract:Professor Junko Oshima started her research career in the United States shortly after graduating from the University of Tsukuba School of Medicine in 1984. Following the successful positional cloning of the Werner syndrome gene in 1996, she continues to expand her research toward understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms of human aging with a special emphasis on accelerated aging/genomic instability syndromes.
