About me
About me
I am a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of James J. Collins at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and co-founder of Integrated Biosciences, a new biotech start-up working on drug discovery for age-related disease.
I am interested in the aging process and anti-aging. My research has focused on senescent cells, one of the key factors causing aging. I have been studying the physiology of senescent cells in vivo in my MS and Ph.D. Currently, I am developing drugs that eliminate senescent cells in vivo, senolytic drugs.
