项目摘要

Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction is an important causal factor in normal aging, and aging-related diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer's disease, cardiac disease, cancer, diabetes and muscle sarcopenia. Age is the strongest risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease, and the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease doubles every 5 years in populations over the age of 65. The goal of this K07 Academic Career Leadership Award is to develop a world-class Center in Aging and Mitochondrial Health at UCLA to foster research collaborations, and to educate and train the next generation of leaders in this important field. The proposed Center will be the first of its kind at UCLA and will be led by Dr. Ming Guo. Dr. Guo is an established physician-scientist. She is a clinical specialist on dementia and cognitive impairment, who also investigates roles for mitochondria in aging and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease in research realm. The Center's goals will be addressed in three aims: 1) to develop core resources to attract interdisciplinary investigators to engage in aging-related research and to enhance collaborative research projects, including a major effort in Alzheimer’s disease research; 2) to create a comprehensive interdisciplinary training and mentorship program in aging and mitochondrial biology; and 3) to serve as a local and national resource for research on mitochondrial biology in aging. The long-term goals of the Center will be to obtain extramural funding for multi-investigator driven proposals, as well as career development faculty grants and an institutional training grant to sustain the training of postdoctoral scholars and geriatric research fellows. Thus the Center will be a new initiative for UCLA and will be a beacon of excellence for investigators pursuing research into mitochondrial biology, aging and diseases of aging, with an emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease.

抽象的线粒体功能障碍是正常衰老和衰老相关疾病（如神经退行性疾病、阿尔茨海默病、心脏病、癌症、糖尿病和肌肉年龄是阿尔茨海默病的最强危险因素，也是阿尔茨海默病的患病率。 65 岁以上人群中，该疾病每 5 年翻一番。 K07 学术生涯的目标领导奖旨在在加州大学洛杉矶分校建立世界一流的老龄化和线粒体健康中心，以促进研究合作，并教育和培训这一重要领域的下一代领导者。拟议的中心将是加州大学洛杉矶分校的第一个此类中心，并将由郭明博士领导。她是一位资深的医师科学家，是痴呆症和认知障碍方面的临床专家。研究线粒体在衰老和神经退行性疾病（包括阿尔茨海默病）中的作用帕金森病研究领域的目标将致力于三个目标：1）发展。吸引跨学科研究人员从事老龄化相关研究并加强合作研究项目，包括阿尔茨海默病研究的重大努力；2) 创建一个衰老和线粒体生物学综合跨学科培训和指导计划；以及 3) 作为衰老线粒体生物学研究的地方和国家资源。该中心的目标是为多研究者推动的提案获取外部资金，以及职业发展教师补助金和机构培训补助金，以维持博士后的培训因此，该中心将成为加州大学洛杉矶分校的一项新举措，并将成为一个致力于线粒体生物学、衰老和疾病研究的研究人员的卓越灯塔老龄化，尤其是阿尔茨海默病。
