Vera Gorbunova: Unlocking the Longevity Secrets of the Longest-Living Mammals

What can long-lived mammals like naked mole rats and bowhead whales teach us about human aging? In this conversation, Dr. Vera Gorbunova, the Doris Johns Cherry Professor in the Departments of Biology and of Medicine, shares how her lab uses comparative biology and cross-species multi-omics to identify molecular signatures of longevity — insights with profound implications for aging and age-related disease. By integrating transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics across species, Gorbunova’s team is uncovering evolutionary strategies for cellular protection and repair. She also discusses how core facility collaboration and a deeply interdisciplinary research culture at the University of Rochester have accelerated her discoveries, offering a model for how team science can advance foundational biology. Topics include: – Comparative longevity genomics – Multi-omics integration across species – The role of core research infrastructure in discovery science – Why evolutionary biology holds clues to extending human healthspan More about the Center for Advanced Research Technologies (CART): https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/resear...
