Understanding why our brains age and how blood factors accelerate or slow down this process

The Brain Aging and Blood Factors Team investigates how circulating blood-derived factors regulate brain function across the lifespan.
Our work focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms through which the systemic environment influences brain aging, neurogenesis, vascular integrity, and cognitive decline.
Why it matters
Aging is the major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, yet many age-related changes in the brain are influenced by signals originating outside the central nervous system.
By identifying blood-borne factors that modulate brain aging, our goal is to uncover novel therapeutic strategies to promote brain resilience, slow cognitive decline, and improve healthy aging.
Our approaches
We combine multidisciplinary experimental models, including:
-
In vivo models of aging and rejuvenation
-
Cellular and molecular analyses of neurovascular and neural stem cell niches
-
Blood and plasma factor profiling
-
Translational approaches bridging systemic biology and brain function
Collaborations and training
​We actively collaborate with academic, clinical and industrial partners and welcome motivated students and postdoctoral researchers interested in brain aging, systemic biology, and regenerative medicine.
