Dr. Tesfahun Admasu: Inside Ethiopia’s Conflict, Aging Research, & Scientist Speaking Out – 248

“Dr. Admasu earned his PhD in Biochemistry from national university of Singapore. In his PhD work he investigated interactions between lifespan extending drugs with the aim of engineering synergistic benefits in C. elegans. Dr. Admasu is currently a research fellow at SENS Research Foundation. His research focus on isolation and characterization of secondary senescent cells using surface markers and identification of novel approaches to ablate multiple types of senescent cells. He recently identified a novel senolytic approach to kill multiple types of senescent cells.Source: https://www.sens.org/endingagingforum-2022/ About the showThe Learning With Lowell show is a series for the everyday mammal.
