Biography

Carlos Giovanni Silva Garcia is an Assistant Professor in the field of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry at Brown University. His broad scientific interests lie in understanding the genetic and non-genetic mechanisms that regulate complex traits in animals. He completed his Ph.D. in 2014, where he studied how adverse conditions affect the physiology of the germline, which is essential for species perpetuation. His postdoctoral work at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health spurred his interest in the biology of aging, focusing on how internal and external signals induce molecular and cellular mechanisms that promote longevity and impact age-related diseases. His research emphasizes the importance of epigenetic changes and the transgenerational effects of environmental factors on lifespan. By leveraging functional genomics techniques, Silva Garcia examines molecular mechanisms of aging, aiming to uncover how epigenetic modifications and inter-organ communication influence longevity. He has received several awards, including the Yerby Postdoctoral Fellowship and the K99/R00 Pathway Independence Award, signifying his contributions to the field of aging research.
