Jeffrey W. Kelly

Jeffrey W. Kelly is a scientist specializing in aging and health research. His work focuses on understanding how our bodies age at the molecular level, particularly by studying telomeres—protective caps on our chromosomes that shorten as we age. By exploring ways to maintain or improve telomere health, Kelly aims to develop strategies to promote longer, healthier lives. His research combines biology, medicine, and innovative techniques to uncover mechanisms of aging and potential interventions to prevent age-related diseases.
