Biography

Lynne Cox is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on aging cell senescence and the molecular and cellular basis of aging. She aims to identify specific biochemical processes and pathways that change in cells and organisms as they age. Prof. Cox has a particular interest in cellular senescence, which is the process underlying several serious age-related diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, lung fibrosis, neurodegeneration, retinopathy, and various cancers. She combines traditional target-based studies with broader phenotypic systems biology approaches to discover new ways to control the damaging aspects of cell senescence, aiming to identify novel drugs and targets that can treat or prevent multiple diseases associated with aging.
