Very grateful for this opportunity, or dream that came true I should say, to present at @ASRM_org Very grateful for the guidance of my mentors and colleagues! I learned a lot this past year, and my leaning will never end! Excited for the future findings of our study!

Our recent work published in Geroscience demonstrating the value of modulating the ovarian microenvironment to promote reproductive longevity was featured on WGN TV Medical Watch! This research was led by @FarnersRiera when she was a postdoc in the lab. wgntv.com/news/medical-watch…

Discovery of ovaries’ aging environment could extend menopause, Northwestern Medicine team finds

Northwestern Medicine researcher Francesca Duncan, Ph.D., said that despite women living longer and leading active lives, some organs are failing to keep up.
