About the San Antonio Nathan Shock Center
Founded in 1995, the San Antonio Nathan Shock Center has continually evolved and stayed at the forefront of aging research to support projects, training, and development for investigators interested in understanding more about geroscience. Our center leverages intellectual and capital resources designed specifically to support research in geroscience and development of translational approaches to improve aging health.
Through our six research cores, we coordinate to achieve the following:
- To provide national leadership in research strategies that advance our understanding of aging biology.
- To accelerate transformative research and develop novel interventions to improve aging health.
- To foster and promote career development of investigators in aging biology.
- To serve as a resource and partner to investigators of other Shock Centers, institutions, and the public, for dissemination of scientific knowledge and enhancing awareness about aging research.
Our Shock Center has a long-standing history of fostering rigorous aging research and features exceptional and tightly integrated resources in geroscience pursuing translational opportunities to improve aging health.
