Welcome to A4LI's Scientist Spotlight, hosted by Brenda Eap, PhD. In this series, we invite the scientists who are actively trying to understand the biology of aging and designing potential geroscience therapeutics that help us live longer healthier lives.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we speak with Dr. Blaise Mariner, a research scientist and engineer affiliated with the Snyder-Mackler Lab and the Dog Aging Project.In this episode, we discuss his path from engineering to aging biology, the questions driving his research, and how large-scale datasets are helping uncover the molecular signatures of aging.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Dr. Kevin Tran, founder of the Phoenix Community.In this episode, we discuss what inspired him to pursue longevity science, his journey as an APOE4 carrier, and how he is empowering the Phoenix Community.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Jillian Cox, PhD Candidate in Dr. Sarah Ocañas' Lab at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.In this episode, we discuss her research into brain aging, and how sex chromosomes contribute to the differences we often see between men and women in brain diseases and disorders.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Seth Ashby, a research associate in Dr. Angeli's lab at the University of Maine. In this episode, we discuss how Seth's experience working at a short-staffed nursing home during the pandemic, how this led to him becoming interested in aging research, and how growing up in Maine has helped shape his passion for policy.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Dr. Sophia Mahoney, a PhD graduate from the Department of Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder.In this episode, we discuss scientific and medical distrust in underrepresented communities, Sophia's research in cellular senescence and vascular health, as well as her interest in cellular reprogramming as she considers her next steps.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Andrea Olsen, an undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology.In this episode, we discuss how Andrea first got interested in longevity science, how she is using A.I. to find cures for glioblastoma, and her leadership in advancing movement on campus through the Caltech Longevity Club.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Nancy Morones, a Graduate Student in Dr. Celine Riera's Lab at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Dr. Kenneth Wilson, a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Lisa Ellerby's lab at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Jeremy Elser, PhD, CEO of Ship of Theseus.
This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we chat with Dr. Karl Miller, a Postdoctoral Associate in Peter Adams Lab at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute.
