On July 15, Berkeley Lab,
UC Berkeley and BioTime, Inc., a Berkeley-based biotechnology
company, signed an agreement creating an endowed program for the

professor Paola S. Timiras, who will chair the research committee
and will soon move her group to Berkeley Lab to participate in
the recently-established Center for Aging Research and Education
(CARE). Gathered at the signing ceremony are (left to right) Paul
