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:
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

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