Discovery that a single-gene mutation could double the lifespan of the worm C. elegans sparked an intensive study of the molecular biology of aging. Kenyon was apart of the team that made this discovery. Her findings have since led to the discovery that an evolutionarily conserved hormone signaling system controls aging in other organisms as well, including mammals. She highlights her work and what the future holds as we seek to unlock the secrets of aging. Learn more abou this speaker
