Lane Wins Nathan Shock Award
Dr. Mark Lane,, an investigator in the National Institute on Aging
Gerontology Research Center, received the 1998 Nathan Shock
New Investigator Award at the Gerontological Society of America's
51st annual scientific meeting. Lane's research focuses on
intervention strategies using both primate and rodent model systems,
and development and evaluation of biomarkers of aging. He is one
of the coinvestigators of NIA's Nonhuman Primate Aging and
Calorie Restriction Study, unique among gerontological studies using
longer-lived species more closely related to humans. His special
interests include metabolic mechanisms of calorie restriction and
primate models of age-related bone loss and menopause. Lane has
been an NIA senior staff fellow at the GRC since 1995.
