The McCormick Lab studies the basic biology of aging.  We use multiple model systems to look for conserved biology that will help us understand and delay aging, and the onset of age-related diseases, in humans.

Potential Lab Members

The McCormick Lab is in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center in Albuquerque, NM, USA.

Prospective technicians, postdoctoral fellows, undergraduate students, or PhD students should contact us directly at mmccormick@salud.unm.edu.

We are especially interested in undergraduate researchers in the McCormick Lab, and have undergraduate co-authors on many of our previous peer-reviewed publications. If you are an undergraduate at UNM, or an undergraduate summer fellowship or travel fellowship recipient who is interested in our research, please contact us directly at mmccormick@salud.unm.edu .

Potential Partners, Collaborators, and Donors

We are working at the interface of basic biology and applied translational development. Work in our lab has identified novel compounds that can nearly double the lifespan of lab organisms, by acting through genetic pathways that are conserved in humans.

If our work suggests possible academic collaborations, opportunities for sponsored research or commercialization, or targets for philanthropy or directed research, we look forward to discussing the possibilities further.  Contact us at mmccormick@salud.unm.edu .
