I am a cell and molecular biologist with more than 15 years’ experience in the field of biology of aging and direct the Cell and Molecular Aging laboratory at Mayo Clinic. I have led an independent research program focused on cellular senescence and mechanisms of aging since 2010, firstly at the Newcastle University Institute for Ageing in the UK and since 2018 at Mayo Clinic, US. My laboratory has been continuously funded by several UK, US and European funding bodies since its inception. I have therefore directed various projects, which have resulted in several significant publications and trained several PhD students and post-doctoral fellows. My research is focused on investigating the role of senescent cells in aging and age-related disease, with a particular focus on mitochondria and telomeres. Research focus areas involve cellular senescence, telomeres and mitochondrial biology. My laboratory has made several important contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction during senescence. We have shown that dysfunctional mitochondria can accelerate telomere damage, inducing cellular senescence in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, we have shown that mitochondria are key regulators of the proinflammatory phenotype characteristic of senescent cells — a major contributor to age-related diseases. Our research team is currently deciphering the mechanisms by which mitochondria drive senescence, with the hope of finding new therapies to increase health span during aging. Current and past research has focused on investigating the role of senescent cells during aging of the lung, heart, liver and skin.
