Scientific Spotlights
Welcome to A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, hosted by the insightful Brenda Eap, PhD. This series is dedicated to the brilliant minds at the forefront of aging and geroscience.
Here, we shine a light on the dedicated researchers and innovators at emerging startups and biotechs who are the driving force behind groundbreaking therapeutics. These are the scientists in the trenches, conducting the hands-on research that doesn’t always make headlines. Away from the conference spotlight and beyond the executive interviews, their meticulous work at the bench is pushing the boundaries of what it means to live a longer, healthier life.
Join us as we celebrate these unsung heroes of science, whose dedication and ingenuity are key to unlocking the secrets of longevity.
