More CR research-now from UCR

[Guest guest]

Caught a brief snippet of the following on the radio today: Dr.

Spindler, Professor of Biochemistry, will speak on his

research on the correlation between calorie restriction and

longevity. Dr. Spindler has a Ph.D. from in Biochemistry from the

University of Texas at Houston, and was a post-doctoral fellow at the

National Institute of Health. Concentrating on the molecular basis of

aging and the interaction between diet, health and longevity at the

molecular level, Dr. Spindler will speak on his research showing that

the fewer the calories an animal consumes – provided malnutrition is

avoided – the slower an animal ages.

This lecture will be Webcast live at:

former academic stomping grounds)
