The Maus Lab
@mauslab.bsky.social
Our group @VHIO helps innovation in oncology by dissecting how aging causes cancer and translating it into improved cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
When Ning, Francesca & Marc were selected to speak
@senescel.org 2025, they gave it their all, refining every argument and minute.
Their talks put our metabolic bottleneck model of aging on the field’s radar. 👏
What do you think drives tissue aging, the cell or its environment? 🤔

📖Culture dishes and in vivo studies are not our only experiments.
As our lab turns soon 3, we keep on testing how to grow a culture where ideas and people thrive.
For anyone curious about the science of teamwork, The Culture Code is a brilliant field guide.

🎯 The Aging and Cancer Lab is not afraid of tough battles — in science or laser tag.
What connects aging and cancer? Can we stop it?
We team up and take aim together at the route causes.. 🔬💥

Imagine a world where you can choose your child’s traits or rewrite your own genes to cure disease or extend life. This month, we recommend The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee — a gripping history of how we came to understand, and are beginning to rewrite, the code of inheritance.

Surviving cancer may seem like a victory, but like war veterans, survivors are haunted by trauma, relapse, and late effects.
This month, we recommend The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde—a raw, honest account of breast cancer survival.

Stem cells have inherent biases toward certain cell fates. Daniel and his team developed ways to read these biases, which may reveal blood cancer origins.

Our vision is a future where organs and tissues aging faster than the rest of the body and at higher risk of cancer can be detected, and where metabolic rejuvenation can restore anti-tumor immunity and prevent cancer before it even starts.

With each decade lived, our chance of being diagnosed with cancer doubles.
How does aging cause cancer?
Can we make cancer-prone tissues as visible as wrinkles are?
Can we treat aging instead of cancer?
These are the questions we are trying to answer - Aging and Cancer lab.
