Buck Institute for Age Research: "By focusing on the connection between age and disease, scientists at the Buck Institute are striving to develop diagnostic tests and treatments that will prevent or delay conditions associated with aging."

Clinical Trials: This site is a registry of federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world. Provided is information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details.

E-anatomy: Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy.

eMedicine: This site is an open access comprehensive medical textbook for all clinical fields which contains over 6,500 articles, and has over 10,000 contributors. Registration is free.

eSkeletons Project: "The eSkeletons Project website is devoted to the study of human and primate comparative anatomy. It offers a unique set of digitized versions of skeletons of several primates in 2-D and 3-D full color, animations, and much supplemental information." Sposored by the University of Texas at Austin.

Exploring Life's Origins: This website is part of a multimedia exhibit at the Museum of Science and includes animations and illustrations to help describe origins of life research and theories. Illustrations and animations may be downloaded in the Resources for Educators section, and have been provided by Janet Iwasa, a NSF Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellow, in collaboration with Jack Szostak and his laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital; and the Current Science and Technology team at the Museum of Science.

Genes and Disease: "Genes and Disease is a collection of articles that discuss genes and the diseases that they cause. These genetic disorders are organized by the parts of the body that they affect. As some diseases affect various body systems, they appear in more than one chapter."

Howard Hughes Medical Institute: This site is provided by HHMI, a nonprofit medical research organization that "engages in the direct conduct of research, with the promotion of human knowledge in the field of the basic sciences and the effective application thereof for the benefit of mankind."

Human Anatomy Online: The Intellimed International Corporation, a heatlh care organization, has created a visual study of human anatomy covering every system of the body. Each topic has animations, hundreds of graphics and thousands of descriptive links. This interactive site is an ideal reference for students or those who just want to know more about the medical descriptions used by doctors and nurses.

Institute of Gerontology: "The mission of the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University is to conduct and disseminate research findings that will (1) increase knowledge about aging and related processes, (2) improve the practice of gerontology and geriatrics, and (3) influence the development and implementation of public policy.
