Christopher E. Carr, Sc.D.  Research Scientist   Current Efforts
1. High-throughput microscopy screen to identify genetic
regulators of fat and body size in the worm C. elegans (Alex
Soukas lab)    1. Hundreds of thousands of images from screen of
all 20,000 genes in the worm.    2. MATLAB-based image analysis
pipeline.    3. Working towards cloud-based analysis.  2. New
mathematical model of aging that generates key predictions such
as when aging begins and how shapes of survival or mortality
curves relate to the underlying biological process of aging.
High Throughput Screening yields insights into metabolism and
aging through discovery science and pathway mapping.
