Dr. Jennifer Garrison is a pioneering neurobiologist and entrepreneur renowned for her cutting-edge research into the mechanisms of healthy aging. Jennifer’s work explores the intricate connections between metabolism, ovarian aging, and brain health, seeking to understand how these factors influence our ability to age robustly. Her goal is to identify novel molecular pathways that can be targeted to slow the aging process, prevent age-related diseases, and extend human healthspan. As Co-Founder and Executive Director of the ProductiveHealth Global Consortium and Co-Director of the Center for Healthy Aging in Women at the Buck Institute, she pioneered a new movement to advance research science and medicine focused on female aging. She holds appointments in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California (USC). Jennifer is a passionate advocate for women’s health and is building a novel model to fundamentally transform how we translate science to solutions for women. She has played an active role in the longevity field, as a member of the Board of Directors for the American Aging Association (AGE), the National Scientific Advisory Council for the American Federation of Aging Research (AFAR), the Advisory Board for the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4Li), and as Associate Director of the Buck-USC Biology of Aging PhD program. Dr. Garrison was named an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Neuroscience Research Fellow and an Allen Institute for Brain Science Next Generation Leader and is the recipient of a Glenn Medical Foundation Award for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging, a Junior Faculty Award from the American Federation of Aging Research, and a Healthy Longevity Catalyst Award from the National Academy of Medicine.
