Dr. Madison Doolittle, assistant professor in the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Skeletal Development at the UConn School of Dental Medicine, recently received a grant from the American Federation for Aging and Research (AFAR) to support his research on accelerated tissue aging and test potential therapeutic treatments.
AFAR’s Grants for Junior Faculty Program provides up to $150,000 to junior faculty for 1-2 years to conduct research that will serve as the basis for longer term research efforts on the biology of aging.
“I am thrilled to receive this award from AFAR,” said Doolittle. “At a time where research funding is in such jeopardy, I am incredibly thankful to AFAR for providing this award so that we can continue to study the complicated nature of biological aging in the skeleton.”
