The SENS Foundation Research Center ('SENSF-RC', or simply 'RC') is our internal research laboratory, and the core of our intra-mural research efforts. The RC undertakes laboratory work to create regenerative medicine solutions to the disabilities and diseases of aging, repairing the damage done by the aging process at the molecular level.

Daniel Kimbel joins Research Center staff
Daniel Kimbel joined our SENS Foundation Research Center team this week as a lab technician. Daniel will be assisting Lorenzo Albanello with our LysoSENS projects already in progress. Coming to us with a BA in Biological Sciences from Rice University, Daniel has demonstrated his commitment to pursuing the SENS objectives, by volunteering both at the research center (while it was still in Tempe) and at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute. His lab experience includes subcloning genes from E. coli into Pichia pastoris yeast and expressing proteins in E.

SENS researchers aim to increase effectiveness of A2E degrading enzymes
SENS researchers have recently begun efforts to improve the effectiveness of the A2E degrading enzyme versatile peroxidase by developing a chimeric enzyme which also features an additional portion who is expected to be able to dramatically increase its activity. This project is currently in progress at the SENS Foundation research center in collaboration with the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.
