Morgan Levine, PhD Assistant Professor of Pathology.

Morgan Levine is a ladder-rank Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at the Yale School of Medicine and a member of both the Yale Combined Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, and the Yale Center for Research on Aging.

Her work relies on an interdisciplinary approach, integrating theories and methods from statistical genetics, Computational biology, and mathematical demography to develop biomarkers of aging for humans and animal models using high-dimensional omics data.

As PI or co-Investigator on multiple NIH-, Foundation-, and University-funded projects, she has extensive experience using systems-level and machine learning approaches to track epigenetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic changes with aging and incorporate this information to develop measures of risk stratification for major chronic diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Her work also involves development of systems-level outcome measures of aging, aimed at facilitating evaluation for Geroprotective Interventions.

A number of the existing biological aging measures she has developed are being applied in both basic and Observational techniques.

Finally, her lab is also involved in a number of collaborations to examine shared molecular signatures in normal aging and cancer.

She obtained her Doctor of Philosophy at University of Southern California, Gerontology (2015).
