This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will provide $1,048,663 to Oregon State University (OSU) from August 1, 2024 through May 31, 2029 to combine experimental evolution and molecular phenotyping techniques. The research aims to improve understanding of the factors underlying common trait variation, such as susceptibility to disease and rates of senescence, in real populations. Key objectives include using metabolomic profiling and 3D electron microscopy to study differences in aging and life-history patterns in experimentally evolved fruit fly populations, as well as establishing a new system to investigate variation in susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. By integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data, the research will seek to decipher how different levels of biological organization shape these complex health-relevant phenotypes.
