🚨New Study Out🚨 In #MolecularEcology we used a new method to measure #DNAmethylation NON-INVASIVELY in wild capuchin monkeys 🐒🧬 We show that epithelial gut cells from feces encode species, age and sex, and can be used to build #aging clocks, run EWAS, and more onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Non‐Invasive Measures of <fc>DNA</fc> Methylation Capture Molecular Aging in Wild Capuchin Monkeys

Elucidating the socio-ecological factors that shape patterns of aging in long-lived vertebrates is of broad interest to evolutionary biologists, geroscientists, and ecologists. However, research on a...

If one wants to understand our fellow apes, the chimpanzees and bonobos, this morning here is the place to be! 🤩 A journey through cooperation and competition by @lirsamuni.bsky.social at ##EFP2026

If you are interested in our research on aging, I will be presenting at #EFP2026 this Tuesday afternoon in the Botany Lecture Hall. Looking forward to seeing some of you for a great Physiology, Health, and Genetics session!

NEW RESEARCH 🔍 #Aging and early life adversity are associated with increased mortality risk. But how similar are they at the molecular level? We investigated #epigenetic profiles across tissues in macaques and you can find the full story in our @science.org article! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Some talks feel like little earthquakes, unraveling how our biases fuel our views of the world and our research. Christine Webb @christinewebb.bsky.social gave a great plenary at #EFP2026! Her book will be the next addition to my bookshelf 📚

Kick start of the #EFP2026 with the plenary of Patricia Izar!

Quels sont les liens entre #trauma dans l'enfance, vieillissement, et #épigénétique ? C'est la question qu'on s'est posée et que nous avons étudiée chez le macaque. Nos résultats sont publiés dans le dernier numéro de @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... à retrouver en version courte sur 👇

Age and early life adversity shape heterogeneity of the epigenome across tissues in macaques

Age and early life adversity (ELA) are key determinants of health, but whether they affect similar physiological mechanisms across tissues is unknown. We generated DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles acro...
