Wednesday, June 30, 2021, London -- Adam Antebi, Ph.D., will present the latest research on the topic Convergent mechanisms of longevity at the worlds' largest annual Aging Research and Drug Discovery conference (8th ARDD). Dr. Adam Antebi is the Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing.
"By leveraging shared mechanisms of longevity across pathways and within evolution, we hope to pinpoint critical targets to intervene and improve health and life," says Adam Antebi, Ph.D., Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing
Dr. Antebi received his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and performed his post-doctoral research at the Johns Hopkins University. He first worked as an Independent Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, and then as an Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston. In 2008, he became a founding Director of the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing, Cologne. His research has focused on unravelling regulatory mechanisms governing animal longevity, and has discovered that hormone driven developmental clocks regulate life span and that small nucleoli are a conserved cellular hallmark of longevity.
