I investigate genomic adaptations associated with extreme longevity, using bats as a comparative model system.
My work integrates:
- Comparative genomics
- Evolutionary biology
- Translational aging research
The overarching goal is to identify molecular mechanisms that enable exceptional lifespan and disease resistance, and to evaluate their relevance for human health and aging.
