No one should have to face frailty or cognitive decline in later life. 

At the Ermolaeva Laboratory, we work to prevent this outcome. We aim to identify interventions that enhance the resilience of cells and tissues across the lifespan, thereby extending the disease-free period of life and preserving health for as long as possible.
