The NOMIS Distinguished Scientist and Scholar Award is enabling Brunet to explore the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate aging and age-related diseases, with the ultimate goal of developing interventions that could delay or prevent these conditions. Her NOMIS-supported project, Organ Synchronization in Aging and Suspended Animation, will leverage a scalable African killifish platform to pioneer transformative technologies for interrogating different tissues during aging; generate massive datasets reporting age-dependent changes as well as the molecular phenotype of every cell in response to longevity interventions; and provide an understanding of what regulates the synchronicity of aging.
