LIFE GOES ON

摘要

Linda Partridge is a British geneticist who studies the biology and genetics of ageing. Her research looks at how healthy lifespans can be extended in model organisms and the pharmacological treatments that could keep us in good health for longer as we age. From helping to equip the lab in her convent school, to discovering genes that influence ageing, Partridge's long and successful contribution to science led to her being made a Dame Commander (DBE) in 2009. She is director of UCL's Institute of Healthy Ageing and founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing.
