The Griffin Lab hosted Dr. Eric Verdin on February 16th as the OMRF Research Forum speaker. Dr. Verdin recently took over as President and CEO of The Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and we were grateful that he fit us into his busy schedule. Dr. Verdin was a gracious guest. He shared many insights into sirtuins, acetylation, and aging, and he delivered an excellent seminar titled, “Metabolism, Epigenetics and Aging: A growing Nexus.”
