Laura Wester

Dr. Laura Wester is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Antebi Department at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne, Germany, focusing on the biological mechanisms of aging.

Her research integrates interdisciplinary approaches to understand aging processes, with core interests in:

• Genetic regulation of longevity
• Molecular pathways in age-related decline
• Cellular senescence mechanisms
• Model organism studies (C. elegans, mice)
• Evolutionary perspectives on aging

Dr. Wester's work contributes to the institute's mission of advancing fundamental aging biology through cutting-edge laboratory techniques and collaborative projects. Her contact email is lwester@age.mpg.de.
