Roles
Ms. Cheyne Littlesun is a MCB graduate student in the Kaeberlein lab, her research focuses on deciphering combinatorial drug interactions in aging biology. Currently she is looking at how a library of chemicals interact with metformin; a possible modulator of longevity now being investigated in humans and the 6th most prescribed drug in the United States. This work has piqued her curiosity in learning more about the molecular pathways that underpin the aging process in order to develop innovative treatments for age-related disorders.
