Research Interest:

I am a visiting Molecular Genetics student from King’s College London. My research interest is to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive diseases, aging, and age-related dysfunction, and the links between them. In the Sinclair Lab, I am working on projects that aim to understand the molecular mechanisms by which partial reprogramming rejuvenates the epigenome. By investigating the root causes of aging, we may be able to develop novel therapies and identify lifestyles that reverse or prevent age-related diseases and increase our healthy lifespan expectancy. I plan to continue to focus on understanding the aging process in graduate school and beyond.
