We do science to advance our understanding of the mechanistic basis of the aging process driven by the central question: What makes young, healthy organisms become older and frailer? Are there early life events that determine the rate at which individuals age and the onset of age-related pathologies? How early and by what means we can intervene to promote health and longevity?

Our research focuses on stress-signaling pathways that are triggered by environmental and internal perturbations. We primarily exploit the utility of genetics, biochemistry and amenability to large-scale chemical screens of C. elegans and a framework to later translate findings into mammalian systems.
