AFAR is pleased to announce the inaugural Sagol Network GerOmic Award for Junior Facultygrant recipients: Simone Sidoli, PhD, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Oscar Vivas, PhD, of the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Established in 2020, the Sagol Network GerOmic Award for Junior Faculty provides up to $100,000 for a one- to two-year award to junior faculty (MDs and PhDs) to conduct aging-related -Omics research, which utilizes Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Systems Research, and Tech to study the biology of aging.
“In establishing this program, the Sagol Network recognized that AFAR’s respected review process and global reputation as a leader in the field of aging research would ensure the brightest talent is supported,” says Sami Sagol, Founder of the Sagol Network. “We are encouraged that Dr. Vivas and Dr. Sidoldi are integrating Omics to advance biomedical research and excited for the impact of their studies and future of this grant program.”
AFAR is grateful to the Sagol Network for their support and congratulates both recipients.
