Thanks to @theA4LI for highlighting me in their Scientist Spotlight series! It was fun to discuss my career path thus far and the field of aging!
The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI)@theA4LI

This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we sit down with Dr. Kenneth Wilson (@_KAWilson_ ), a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Lisa Ellerby's lab at the @BuckInstitute. In this episode, we discuss Kenny's first contributions to the aging field, his rise to prominence, as well as his advice to young trainees looking to come into the field. You can listen to the full episode here:a4li.org/podcast/scient….

In our Aging Committee hearing today, Dr. Eric Verdin made it clear: the NIH is the crown jewel of all biomedical research organizations in the world. Cuts to NIH will cost American lives.

All-in-all, this work led by my friend and colleague Tyler ties a neat bow on our PhD work. We always wondered how the dozens of traits we measured could be used together to make up aspects of longevity. Really cool how it all turned out! (3/3)

A key finding was that supplementation with threonine, which was linked to lifespan prediction, extended lifespan in flies. Importantly, we used Mendelian Randomization to demonstrate that threonine, along with other candidate metabolites, holds health relevance in humans. (2/3)

New publication from @KapahiLab! Link here shorturl.at/MyEfV We used computational modeling on data collected during my PhD in >150 #Drosophila strains to find traits that predict lifespan and healthspan across different genotypes in response to dietary restriction. (1/3)

I can’t believe almost 4 years have already passed since we took this photo. As you can see we are very passionate about aging research. Especially @garacreen 😉
