Short Description
Calico VP whose C‑elegans work proved lifespan is gene‑regulated.
Description

Cynthia Kenyon discovered that mutations in daf‑2 (insulin/IGF receptor) doubled worm lifespan, launching the genetics‑of‑aging era. Her UCSF lab uncovered downstream FOXO transcription factors and metabolic rewiring, findings conserved up to mammals. Now VP of Aging Research at Calico, she guides large‑scale screens for therapeutics that mimic her seminal discoveries.
