The goals of the San Antonio Nathan Shock Center:

1. To be a leader in research that advances our understanding of the biology of aging
2. To provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ venue to accelerate transformative research in the biology of aging
3. To foster and promote career development of early-stage investigators in aging biology
4. To serve as a resource and partner to investigators from other Shock Centers, institutions, and the public, for dissemination of scientific knowledge and enhancing awareness about aging research

As a recipient of the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) grant from the National Institute of Aging (NIA), the Barshop Institute is furthering research efforts towards the clinical aspect. The Pepper Center designation enables translation of research into practical applications in the lives of older Americans. The Barshop Institute is one of the few places in the country that can both investigate the aging process and move the findings into the clinic.

The Aging Interventions Testing Program (ITP) at San Antonio is funded by the Biology of Aging Program of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to evaluate treatment strategies likely to prevent or delay adverse age-dependent changes in cells and tissues, and to diminish the burden of disease in old age. Interventions considered for the program include, but are not limited to pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, plant extracts, hormones, chelators, and redox agents.
