Postdoctoral Fellow
Joined Sep. 2019
Projects: Identifying common downstream mediators of longevity in long-lived genetic mutants from different
pathways of lifespan extension; Determining the extent to which these common downstream mediators of longevity are neuroprotective
in models of Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease.
Interests: Fitness and nutrition obsessed, with a splatter of painting for good measure.

Projects: Investigating which mechanisms are involved in lifespan-extension of mutants that lack the ROS scavenger SOD-2. This is of interest since ROS have been associated with aging but it is not known precisely how.
Interests: rock-climbing, running, drawing and hiking. I also have an interest in mythology, movies and tv shows.

Joined Sep. 2021
Projects: Identifying common downstream mediators of neuroprotection in models of genetic and chemically induced neurodegeneration (i.e. PD, AD, HD and ALS). This will help with the developing/repurposing of pharmacologic treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
Interests: MMORPG/MOBA games and anime.

Joined: January 2023
Projects: Examining the molecular mechanisms by which mild impairment of mitochondrial function contributes to increased stress resistance, slow physiologic rates, and extended longevity.
Interests: Comic book and coffee enthusiast, who enjoys spending quality time with family, friends, good books, and her fur children.
