"Aging research" refers to the scientific study and investigation of the aging process in humans or other living organisms to understand its causes, effects, and potential ways to improve health and quality of life as individuals grow older.

Rogers studies the molecular mechanisms underlying aging in C. elegans, a tiny, soil - dwelling roundworm that is a favorite animal model in
aging research because its short lifespan allows scientists to quickly assess the effect of anti-aging interventions and because it shares many of its genes with humans.
