Scientifically Speaking is a virtual event series that spotlights the emerging scientific leaders who are shaping tomorrow's breakthroughs.
During our fall installment of Scientifically Speaking we featured two scientists who are reimagining the future of human health as they build their careers at JAX.
Ramalakshmi Ramasamy, Ph.D., shared how aging begins, even before birth by studying the human placenta. Her work could lead to new insights into pregnancy health at the earliest stages of human development.
Daniel Alfonso Peñarete-Acosta, Ph.D., is explored how tiny microbes in our gut interact with our immune system — especially in diseases like colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel conditions. Using state-of-the-art "organ-on-a-chip" technology, his research revealing how these systems communicate and what happens when that balance is disrupted.
Their insights were engaging and inspiring. Learn more about the breakthroughs they are pursuing by watching a recording of the virtual event below.
