In 2004, she moved to her current position at The Salk Institute. Her research interests focus on using natural products such as flavonoids, small molecules that are widely distributed in fruits and vegetables, to maintain nerve cell function in the presence of toxic insults, especially in relation to Alzheimer’s, dementia & Parkinson’s.
Dr. J Pedro de Magalhaes, PhD
Harvard Medical School, University of Liverpool
Dr. de Magalhaes leads the Integrative Genomics of Aging Group at the Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, UK. Dr. de Magalhaes completed his postdoc with genomics pioneer, Dr. George Church, at Harvard Medical School. He developed high throughput approaches for studying aging, including computational tools and databases, statistical models of mortality, and comparative genomics methods for investigating the evolution of longevity. Dr. de Magalhaes maintains several databases related to the impact that drugs & natural substances have on aging.
Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, PhD
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Washington – Consultant
Professor of Pathology, Adjunct Professor of Genome Sciences, and Adjunct Professor of Oral Health Sciences at the University of Washington. Dr. Kaeberlein’s research interests focus on basic mechanisms of aging in order to identify interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. He has published nearly 200 papers in top scientific journals and has been recognized by prestigious awards, including Breakthroughs in Gerontology, Alzheimer’s Association Young Investigator Award, Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar in Aging, a Murdock Trust Award, Pioneer in Aging, and Vincent Cristofalo Rising Star in Aging Research.
