Yale Child Study Center Associate Research Scientist Amanda M. Dettmer, PhD, has received a one-year, $40,000 pilot award from the Yale Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center as part of its Pilot & Exploratory Studies Core. Dettmer's proposal, “Epigenetic Aging Clock, Metabolomic, and Health Profiles in Adulthood Following Early Life Adversities in Nonhuman Primates,” seeks to capitalize on part of the NIH Macaque Biobehavioral archive to study how experimentally-induced and naturally-occurring early life adversity are associated with differential likelihood of age-related changes in epigenetic aging, metabolomic profiles, and health outcomes in rhesus macaques.
