But there’s hope. Longevity science offers a path forward. It’s the only field uniquely positioned to prevent the chronic diseases of aging, extend healthy years, and reduce long-term costs. And despite the noise in Washington, it’s still one of the rare issues that enjoys bipartisan support.

His research in uncovering the mechanisms behind the formation of cytoplasmic chromatin fragments in aging and senescence, with the goal of developing alternatives to senolytic drugs for treating age-related diseases and promoting healthy aging is super inspiring! :)

While ELOVL2 is often studied for its connection to methylation and biological aging, there's so much more to uncover in the eye—it’s truly a focal point of discovery!

In this episode, we discuss how she found her way to studying the eye—specifically, her research on the role of the gene ELOVL2 in the retina and the importance of polyunsaturated fatty acids in maintaining retinal function and integrity.
