Advances in biomedical science have cured multiple diseases and greatly improved healthspan and lifespan. However, aging is the strongest risk factor for most causes of death in the western world, and thus these advances have resulted in a relatively small increase in maximal lifespan. Without a systematic approach to understand and treat the aging process, it is unlikely that the phenomenal improvement in healthspan and lifespan seen over the last 100 years will continue. In light of these views, we aim to contribute to the understanding of the aging process and its modulation.

​

In our lab, we aim to develop new methods and use them to answer questions related to aging. These include novel approach to determine the local protein environment near targets of interest in human samples, identification of protective natural antibodies in Alzheimer's disease, and the identification of a class methylation sites where epigenetic information is lost in aging, stress and disease.
