The SENS Foundation Research Center ('SENSF-RC', or simply 'RC') is our internal research laboratory, and the core of our intra-mural research efforts. The RC undertakes proof-of-concept research in rejuvenation biotechnologies which comprehensively address the disabilities and diseases of aging, repairing the damage done by the aging process at the molecular level.

  • The Biochemistry of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

    December 5, 2011 by Tanya Jones from RC Updates

    In our last post (Part I), SENS Foundation researcher Max Peto discussed the macro-anatomy of the human eye and how it relates to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). In this second installment on ARMD, he’ll elaborate on the biochemistry and microstructures of the eye which relate to the development and pathogenesis of ARMD.

  • SENS Foundation and Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Part 1

     In this three part series, SENS Foundation researcher Max Peto describes the pathophysiology of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), and how we direct our internal research efforts to reverse the pathology of this terrible, debilitating disease.

  • Internship Report -- Sarah Fazal

    September 28, 2011 by Tanya Jones from RC Updates

    Sarah Fazal joined our research center team as an intern for the summer. Over the past few months, she worked with our MitoSENS team, primarily verifying the integration of DNA transfected into cells and detecting RNA expression levels.  Her efforts contributed greatly to the progress our MitoSENS team has made over recent months, and she presented those results in a poster at our recent SENS5 conference in Cambridge.
