Bio

I strive to keep people as healthy and as happy as possible for as long as possible. To accomplish this, I study the biology of aging, as this is the root cause of the majority of deaths worldwide. I hope to develop therapies to treat these root causes and prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, stroke, and diabetes. My main area of focus is studying the interconnectedness of the body and how aging and interventions targeting the aging process act on the different organs and cell types throughout the body. As a grad student, and postdoc I was fortunate enough to help lead one of the largest single-cell RNA-seq efforts in this area: Tabula Muris Senis. More recently I was given the tremendous opportunity to help start Rejuvenome, an even bigger effort to catalog the effects of aging interventions by combining organism-wide multi-omics with a variety of longitudinal functional assays. Now, I am looking for more bottlenecks in aging research to target. Reach out if you have ideas or want to brainstorm!
