Scientifically Speaking: Better Health from the Inside Out – Hosted by The Jackson Laboratory

At The Jackson Laboratory, young scientists are pursuing big discoveries that come in small packages — microbes, cells, genes and other tiny building blocks of life. See how these scientific leaders are reshaping our understanding of human disease at our upcoming Scientifically Speaking event.

Daniel Alfonso Peñarete, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Associate

What if the microbes in your gut could help predict or even prevent disease? Daniel is using advanced “organ-on-a-chip” technology to study how these tiny organisms interact with our immune system.

Ramalakshmi Ramasamy, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Associate

Can aging begin before we’re even born? Ramalakshmi is investigating how certain cells in the placenta stop dividing during pregnancy — a process that may hold clues to early aging and maternal health.
