Join Us!

We are actively recruiting motivated team members at all levels.
If you're excited about aging biology, geroscience drug discovery, and making a real impact,

we'd love to hear from you.

Our Philosophy
I believe the success of a lab starts with its people

My goal is to support each team member’s growth, both in science and beyond.

We foster a respectful, collaborative, and curiosity-driven environment where everyone is encouraged to grow.

 

Our Values

We are guided by these principles:

“做好人,做好事,做好学问”

Be a good person, do good work, do good science.

If these values resonate with you, you’ll fit right in.

 

How We Work Together

  • Group meetings to share ideas and data

  • Regular one-on-one mentoring sessions

  • Annual development reviews to reflect on progress and goals

  • Social events to build a supportive, inclusive lab culture

  • Enjoy the learning curves, the wins (big or small), the breakthroughs, and everything along the way.

  • ​And yes, you’ll have the freedom to explore bold ideas, develop new skills, and shape your own career journey.
