Silvan Spiri, PhD

Postdoctoral Researcher,  Brar Lab

silvan.spiri [at] berkeley.edu

I am interested in identifying the molecular mechanisms that ensure cellular rejuvenation through the reset of proteostasis during gametogenesis. By revealing how cells naturally rejuvenate, my research may uncover new approaches to maintain cellular health and combat age-related decline

 

Ben Styler

I am interested in understanding selective inheritance of nuclear material during gametogenesis. Outside of lab, you can find me hiking, reading sci-fi, or playing tennis.

 
 

Wilson Tao

Undergraduate Researcher,  Brar Lab
