Dr. Babaeijandaghi currently serves as a scientist at Altos Labs San Diego Institute. He earned his M.D. from Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Iran and completed his Ph.D. in Experimental Medicine at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. During his doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr. Fabio Rossi, his research primarily concentrated on investigating the involvement of stromal cells, particularly resident macrophages and fibro-adipogenic progenitors, in muscle regeneration and fibrosis. Dr. Babaeijandaghi has made significant contributions to the field with publications in journals such as Nature Medicine, Science Translational Medicine, PNAS, and Nature Communications. He was honored with the prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships and holds a grant from the Muscular Dystrophy Association as a Co-Principal Investigator. 

Collection Overview

As the global population increasingly skews towards older demographics, the prevalence of conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic syndromes, and tissue fibrosis rises significantly. Tissue aging is a highly complex process influenced by a myriad of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors that collectively drive the decline in tissue function over time. Understanding the mechanisms behind the structural and functional decline of aging tissue enables researchers to identify potential targets for interventions that can slow, halt, or even reverse these processes. Rejuvenation approaches, such as partial reprogramming, offer promising avenues to restore tissue function and promote healthy living. Detailed knowledge of these approaches helps identify specific markers and pathways that can be targeted to rejuvenate cells in a controlled manner. Additionally, understanding these mechanisms can lead to the discovery of new biomarkers for aging and therapeutic targets, paving the way for personalized medicine approaches in age-related disease management. In this collection, we will mainly focus on multimodal approaches integrating multiple types of data and methodologies to gain a comprehensive understanding of tissue aging and rejuvenation processes. Examples of these approaches include but are not limited to Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), Transcriptomics, DNA Methylation Analysis, Histone Modification Mapping, ATAC-Sequencing, Mass Spectrometry, Protein Interaction Networks, Metabolomics, Imaging Techniques, Functional Assays, Integrative Network Analysis, Machine Learning, Longitudinal Studies, Cross-Species Analysis, and Model Organisms.
