We are a research group at the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena, Germany, working on the computational systems biology of ageing. Our three current programmes — Stochasticity & Regulation in Aging, Microbiome & Aging, and Measuring Aging Across Scales — sit at the intersection of model organisms and large-scale human data.

We strive for a diverse, supportive group where everyone can grow as independent scientists, and we practice open science: data, code, and preprints are shared openly.
