Tapping into the fountain of youth: Does the key to reversing the aging process circulate within us?


Dr. Rubin’s lab focuses on understanding neurodegenerative diseases and what happens to the brain as we age. The Rubin lab recently discovered proteins in young blood that can increase the production of new neurons and rejuvenate old brains. The ultimate goal of this line of research is to find a therapeutic to protect against age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
