Anne Brunet
Michele and Timothy Barakett Endowed Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe want to understand aging based on the integration of model organisms with diverse lifespans. We have identified pathways involved in delaying aging in response to external stimuli such as availability of nutrients.
