Callista Aikens

Callista Aikens is an Associate Tutor in the School of Biological Sciences within the Faculty of Science at the University of East Anglia (UEA). She is currently pursuing her PhD, focusing on epigenetic mechanisms related to biological aging and their intergenerational transmission in the Seychelles warbler.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of molecular biology and ecology, particularly in understanding how epigenetic markers can serve as indicators of biological age and how parental age influences offspring through non-genetic inheritance. This work contributes to broader fields such as aging research, evolutionary biology, and conservation genomics.

The trends in her research, though not yet reflected in published articles, suggest a strong focus on epigenetic clocks, wildlife physiology, and transgenerational effects in natural populations. These areas align with emerging themes in integrative biology and ecological epigenetics.
