Our lab aspires to investigate mechanisms of systemic aging through large-scale, innovative collaborations that transcend human-made boundaries, driving scientific discovery at the intersection of stem cell biology, metabolism, and epigenetics.
We are committed to training the next generation of scientists in an inclusive, open-minded academic environment, fostering passion, enthusiasm, excellence, and resilience as they pursue transformative research.
We strive to become a leading research lab uncovering novel pathways of aging, epigenetic regulation, and iron metabolism, with the ultimate goal of translating findings into interventions that enhance human longevity and combat age-related diseases.
Above all, we believe that science and research are the pursuit of Truth—a quest open to all who are driven by curiosity and determination, regardless of their gender, background, race, or upbringing. In this spirit, we are committed to fostering an environment that values diversity, equity, and inclusion, where every individual is empowered to contribute and thrive in the pursuit of scientific discovery. To do so, we will promote:
- Curiosity and Innovation. Encourage curiosity-driven research to unlock new insights into aging and stem cell biology.
- Collaboration and Community. Foster an environment of open discussion and collaboration within the lab and with external partners.
- Excellence and Mentorship. Strive for excellence in research while mentoring the next generation of scientists to develop resilience and passion for discovery.
- Scientific Integrity. Commit to conducting rigorous, reproducible research that can drive impactful scientific and therapeutic advancements.
