Welcome to the Harrison Laboratory!

Dr. Harrison HeadshotThe Harrison Lab website provides information about our research programs and other activities related to the Harrison Lab.

Gerontology: Mechanisms of Aging

Our research in gerontology focuses on developing and testing hypotheses about the causes of aging in mice. Our long-term goal is for our research to lead to an extended period of healthy life — healthspan — as we age.

Learn about our study of rapamycin treatment in mice — started in older mice — that extended their lifespan...

Hematology: Stem Cells

Our research in hematology focuses on molecular genetic mechanisms that regulate differentiation, self-renewal, and aging in stem cells. Our long-term goal is for our research to lead to safer and more effective treatments for human diseases as we age, thus extending our healthspan.
