We are extending an invitation to individuals to becoming a center member because of the expertise you may have in one of our core areas (Basic Research, Clinical Research and Education). Together through collaboration and scientific exchanges, we can truly make healthy aging a reality!

Membership in the Center will provide a few privileges including: An invitation to participate in research forums on a quarterly basis. These half-day research forums will be sponsored by the Center and consist of a guest speaker and research presentations from investigators at the UC Davis campus related to aging/degenerative biology. These forums will be very stimulating and will be great venues for young investigators to share their work with our UC Davis Research Community.

Another privilege of becoming a Center member is a reduced cost for using our newly acquired core microCT, histomorphometry, ELISA and RT-PCR facilities. We hope to encourage both basic and clinical researchers to collaborate with us and share our facilities. We also will be happy to collaborate in grant proposals that would utilize our core resources.

We hope you will consider this invitation to become a member of our Center. Please feel free to contact me by telephone or email if you have questions about the center and our proposed activities.

Sincerely,
