Judith Campisi

Judith Campisi is a prominent American biochemist known for her research on aging and cellular senescence. Her work focuses on understanding how cells can become "senescent," meaning they stop dividing and can contribute to aging and age-related diseases. By studying the mechanisms behind senescence, Campisi aims to uncover ways to promote healthy aging and potentially develop therapies for diseases like cancer. Her research is significant as it could lead to breakthroughs in extending lifespan and improving the quality of life in older adults. She is affiliated with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in California.
