Longest-lived bats unveiled secrets to longer and healthier lives
Medical Xpress - 26-Aug-2021Novel genes increase DNA repair and limit damage to slow down ageing process
Emma Teeling
Associate Professor at University College Dublin
Prof. Emma Teeling established the Laboratory of Molecular Evolution and Mammalian Phylogenetics in 2005 and is the Founding Director of the Centre for Irish Bat Research at University College Dublin (UCD). She has been awarded a prestigious European Research Council Starting grant (2012) and a Science Foundation Ireland, President of Ireland Young Researcher Award (2006). Her integrative research in the fields of zoology, phylogenetics, genomics and conservation biology uncovers the genetic signatures of survival that enables species to adapt to an ever-changing environment.
