Bio

Endowed professor of biology at the University of Rochester and co-director of the Rochester Aging Research Center, who studies exceptionally long-lived mammals to learn how they resist aging and cancer.

Protocol

Her lab traced the naked mole rat's 30-year, cancer-free lifespan to very high-molecular-weight hyaluronan, then transferred that gene into mice to improve healthspan and modestly extend lifespan. She also studies how the sirtuin SIRT6 drives DNA repair and genome stability — a determinant of species longevity.

Principles

Nature already solved aging many times — the comparative biology of long-lived species reveals the mechanisms (genome maintenance, hyaluronan, sirtuins) that can be borrowed to extend healthy lifespan in humans.

160+ lab tests twice a year, tracked for life at $365

Function runs 160+ biomarkers annually (tested twice per year) across hormones, heart, metabolic, aging, and autoimmunity markers—including insulin, lipoproteins, hs-CRP, homocysteine, vitamin D, and heavy metals. Results are reviewed by clinicians and flagged for action. No insurance required, HSA/FSA eligible. The longevity crowd's baseline-tracking service.
