The identification of these mechanisms would provide pivotal insight into the etiology of numerous age-related diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration and heart disease. Thus, by elucidating the basic biology that underlies human aging, it may be possible to provide new treatments for various diseases that are currently endemic in Western society. This rationale shapes the research performed in the lab and ensures that it always operates at the crossroads between basic biology and medical urgency. The main focus areas of the Vermulst lab are the following:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner gap=&#8221;35&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562096364498{padding-top: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;Mitochondrial protein heterogeneity&#8221; txt_align=&#8221;center&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; btn_outline_custom_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;#1a61b2&#8243; btn_shape=&#8221;square&#8221; btn_align=&#8221;center&#8221; btn_i_align=&#8221;right&#8221; btn_i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-angle-right&#8221; btn_css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; btn_add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#1a61b2&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fgero.usc.edu%2Flabs%2Fvermulstlab%2Fmitochondrial-protein-heterogeneity%2F|title:Mitochondrial%20protein%20heterogeneity||&#8221; el_class=&#8221;research-button&#8221;][\/vc_cta][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;Transcription errors&#8221; txt_align=&#8221;center&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; btn_outline_custom_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;#1a61b2&#8243; btn_shape=&#8221;square&#8221; btn_align=&#8221;center&#8221; btn_i_align=&#8221;right&#8221; btn_i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-angle-right&#8221; btn_css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; btn_add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#1a61b2&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fgero.usc.edu%2Flabs%2Fvermulstlab%2Ftranscription-errors%2F|title:Transcription%20errors||&#8221; el_class=&#8221;research-button&#8221;][\/vc_cta][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;Mitochondrial mutagenesis&#8221; txt_align=&#8221;center&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; btn_outline_custom_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;#1a61b2&#8243; btn_shape=&#8221;square&#8221; btn_align=&#8221;center&#8221; btn_i_align=&#8221;right&#8221; btn_i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-angle-right&#8221; btn_css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; btn_add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#1a61b2&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fgero.usc.edu%2Flabs%2Fvermulstlab%2Fmitochondrial-mutagenesis%2F|title:Mitochondrial%20mutagenesis||&#8221; el_class=&#8221;research-button&#8221;][\/vc_cta][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;35&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1600X450&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562096746124{padding-top: 25px !important;}&#8221;]The primary goal of the Vermulst laboratory is to identify the basic mechanisms that control human aging.
