Brief Biography

I received my B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology. I attended graduate school at University of California, San Francisco, where I studies the group of genetically inherited neurodegenerative diseases known as polyglutamine diseases. For my postdoctoral studies, I incorporated how aging contributes to age-related diseases using C. elegans as a model. Currently, my lab uses C. elegans to understand the cell, molecular, and genetic influences of aging. In particular, we focus on how mitochondrial stress responses impact aging.
