🍕Science & slices! Join us for the last Mindful Sips of the semester today at 5pm in NHB 1.720:
🧠 Anna Warden (Mayfield Lab), “Genetic risk factors for developing AUD and what they really mean”
📊 John Leri (Cisler Lab), “Predictors of alcohol misuse/AUD”
Don’t miss it!

Congrats to Dr. Marion Friske from the Mayfield lab for being selected as a finalist in Empower Your Pitch! 🧠🎤 This UT-wide competition challenges grad students and postdocs to tell the story of their research and its impact in 3 minutes or less. The finale takes place 5-7 pm on 4/9 in FAC.

Grateful to have hosted Dr. Rajita Sinha at our Waggoner Advance retreat on Monday. It's inspiring to see our affiliates come together to discuss their research in alcohol & substance use disorders. Huge thanks to our speakers, poster presenters, & attendees! #Alcohol #Substance #Research #UTAustin

Alcohol and aging: Next‐generation epigenetic clocks predict biological age acceleration in individuals with alcohol use disorder Our study investigated the performance of five epigenetic clocks by evaluating associations with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and various alcohol-related phenotypes. Both DNAm GrimAge versions were ass...

Heavy alcohol use can speed up biological aging. ⏳ Epigenetic clocks show that those with an alcohol use disorder may age faster at the cellular level, with GrimAge V2 linking alcohol use to key aging markers. #Epigenetics #Alcohol #ACER
