About

I hold a PhD in Molecular Immunology and have over 20 years experience in various fields, including proteomics and single cell genomics in the context of cell adhesion, extracellular matrix biology, stem cells and regenerative medicine, currently focusing my research on understanding lung health and disease. I am excited about learning how to extend the human Healthspan into very old age by leveraging new opportunities in experimental systems biology and AI to study the genetic and environmental inputs that cause premature aging and the development of chronic lung disease.
