University of California, San Francisco, USA
I am Jonathan Bayerl, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Diana Laird at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I am interested in uniting the fields of stem cell biology and aging to understand the relationship between epigenetics, metabolism and heterochrony and their impact on longevity in unconventional model organisms.
My long-term goal is to understand how lifespan is modulated on the molecular, functional, and metabolic levels by scrutinizing biological strategies in the animal kingdom that gear species toward longevity, coined ‘super agers’. Currently, I am capitalizing on my stem cell-based in vitro system for the mouse-sized eusocial mammal, the naked mole-rat (NMR), which is an emerging model organism of extreme aging, to decipher its unique strategies for longevity (up to 30 years).
