Biography

Mark McCormick is an Associate Professor with Tenure in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the School of Medicine at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, as well as a Board Member of the American Aging Association and the Vice-Chair Elect of Biological Sciences for the Gerontological Society of America. He received a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of California, San Francisco, and a BS in Biology and BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, The McCormick Lab studies the basic biology of aging, using multiple model systems to look for conserved biology that will help them understand and delay aging, and the onset of age-related diseases, in humans. They also increasingly incorporate machine learning and related computational approaches into our ongoing work.
