Carina Kern

[citation needed] Kern was previously a research fellow at the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment in the University College London.

Kern has been an outspoken critic of what she argues are ideas that are inadequate to guide research towards an understanding of the aging process.

[4] Her work on C. elegans challenged several decades of orthodoxy on notion of single gene switch-off mechanisms that could extend lifespan.

[5][6] The work was cited in several main stream media outlets in the UK including Sky News,[7] Evening Standard[8] The Times[9] and The Independent[10] Her work has also looked at how innate immune training can prevent infection at the level of whole organisms.

[12] She has also published work, that looks beyond the latest programmatic theories of ageing, and which seeks to explain the core molecular pathways at the heart of disease.
