The Institute for Successful Longevity has awarded its 2021 ISL Planning Grants to Bradley Gordon and Michael Delp, for their project to establish the contribution of specific genes to the loss of skeletal muscle in response to disuse, and to Jennifer Steiner and Ravinder Nagpal, for their study of the effects of alcohol use and associated gut microbiome decline on aging-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength.

Gordon, Steiner and Nagpal are all assistant professors in the Department of Nutrition, Food & Exercise Sciences in the College of Human Sciences. Delp is dean of the college.

Each ISL Planning Grant provides a $15,500 award in support of research in a new direction or provides continuing support of existing research with the goal of improving the opportunity for successful longevity.

“We are pleased to support these scientists as they conduct research on the loss of muscle mass and strength in older adults,” said Neil Charness, Director of the Institute for Successful Longevity. “This is an important area of concern, and new research is needed to explore possible interventions that could arrest or mitigate these losses.”
