Regular biography
Paloma Navarro Negredo is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the BIO department at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Her research focuses on understanding how immune cells and inflammation shape the aging process in the brain to promote organ resilience during aging and in age-related diseases. Paloma studied Natural Sciences with an emphasis in Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge. She then pursued a Ph.D. in Cell Biology at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, where she studied protein sorting and trafficking under the mentorship of Prof. Margaret Robinson. She later conducted postdoctoral studies at Stanford University, investigating changes in the brain during aging, focusing on immune cells and engineered proteins. Her work has been published in top journals, and she has received several awards and honors, including best poster presentation awards at the Bay Area Aging Meeting and a Long Term HFSP Fellowship.
Scholar-generated biography
Paloma Navarro Negredo is a researcher at Stanford University focusing on aging, with an emphasis on the biological mechanisms underlying aging and rejuvenation. Her work explores the role of neural stem cells, immune cells, and spatial transcriptomics in the aging brain. She investigates how aging affects neurogenic niches, T cell infiltration, and the molecular pathways involved in brain aging. Her research also includes the study of protein aggregates, chromatin accessibility dynamics, and the impact of cytokines on neurogenesis. Navarro Negredo's studies aim to uncover therapeutic strategies for age-related neurological decline.
