Solve aging first, and with time, we'll solve all remaining challenges of humanity.

Hello! I’m a PhD candidate at Harvard Medical School, Vadim Gladyshev lab. My research interests include aging and omics, with a focus on the cause of aging, epigenetics, metabolism, and multi-omics. My recent work focuses on the causal role of DNA methylation in aging and age-related diseases, and I built the first causal biomarker of aging. I also built the ClockBase (preprint), which provides a resource for the scientific community to quantify and explore biological ages of more than 2.5 million samples on GEO, thus facilitating discovery of new longevity interventions and age-accelerating conditions. I’m also interested in machine learning and protein design.
