If you are interested in our research about discovering species with extremely low cancer rates or using ideas from integrated pest management to improve cancer therapy, ASU has a new podcast Lab Coat Optional that featured my work in an episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8r0...

Finally, after years of hard work, I have officially earned my Ph.D. in Veterinary Medicine.🎓

I will do my best to make meaningful contributions to cancer and aging research, and to grow as a respected PI and leader.🔥

Human 100+ years vs. mouse lemur ~15 🐒—why the gap? Primates are a natural experiment in longevity.
I review AnAge (macro view) and PAD (micro view)—what’s inside and how their large-scale data support longevity research.

Primate genomes are ~3 Gb—but why? Lemurs trend smaller, simians swelled with Alu bursts, and humans carry a chr2 fusion. I break down genome size, karyotype shifts, and which lineages have reference-grade genomes. Dive in 🐒
