Sarah E. Wolf studies the biology of aging and how genetic variation relates to health, combining large-scale human genomics with studies of aging in wild and model animals. Her work includes measuring telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes) and DNA methylation "epigenetic clocks" as markers of biological age, as well as cataloguing genetic variants linked to diseases such as heart rhythm disorders. She also investigates how environmental factors like nutrition, stress, and parasites affect physiology in wild rodents.
