CITP: New call for compounds

The Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP) is an NIH-funded research consortium that includes the Phillips lab at the University of Oregon, the Driscoll lab at Rutgers University, and the Lithgow lab at the Buck Institute. The founding principle of the CITP is that compounds effective across a genetically diverse panel of Caenorhabditis species and strains are likely engaging conserved biochemical pathways to exert their effects. One of the core missions of the CITP is to assist the research community in identifying, characterizing, and prioritizing potential anti-aging compound interventions. As such, the CITP has an access panel that reviews applications for externally suggested compound studies. Today, the CITP issued another call for applications for compound studies (submission website).
