Short Description Pioneer of cellular senescence and SASP biology.
Description Judith Campisi is Professor Emerita at the Buck Institute and senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her lab characterized the Senescence‑Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) and demonstrated how senescent cells drive cancer, fibrosis, and systemic aging. Campisi’s seminal Nature and Science papers underpin today’s senolytic industry. She advises companies such as Unity Biotechnology and Rejuveron, ensuring rigorous translation of senescence science. Elected to the National Academy of Sciences, she continues to shape policy through reviews for NIH, DoD, and European funding agencies.
