Dario Riccardo Valenzano - Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing

Limited population size ... exacerbates the effects of mutation accumulation and cumulatively contribute to short adult lifespan.

Jonathan An - University of Washington

Bridging the interface of aging biology and oral biology to extend the oral healthspan in people.

Mounir El Maï - IRCAN

Inhibition of FoxO transcription factors by Akt indirectly induce p15/16 growth arrest and senescence.

Morgan Levine - Yale School of Medicine

Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) data was used to train an epigenetic age (DNAmAge) measure in rats.

Dudley Lamming - University of Wisconsin-Madison

Ovariectomized female mice have improved survival despite increased adiposity and decreased control of blood glucose levels.

Amanda Kowalczyk - Carnegie Mellon University – University of Pittsburgh

Pan-mammalian analysis finds that effective cancer control is a key adaptation underlying the evolution of extreme longevity.

Michael Polymenis - Texas A&M University
