The idea that ageing was subject to control was completely unexpected. — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share Image
Ageing is very exciting. But if I didn't work on ageing, I'd want to work on the brain. There are really cool techniques you can use now. And bioinformatics. The methods you can use for comparing large data sets -… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share Image
With worms you can just change genes at random and see if you can find a mutant that does what you want it to… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share
I eat some fruit every day, but not too much and almost no processed food. I stay away from sweets, except 80 per cent chocolate. — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share
Age is the single largest risk factor for an enormous number of diseases. So if you can essentially postpone aging, then you can have… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share

Maybe one day we will be able to take a pill that keeps us young and healthy much longer. I believe in my heart… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share
If the aging process is controlled in a similar way in worms and humans, then we can use what we learn about worms to… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share
Perhaps genes did regulate the aging process. Perhaps different organisms had different life spans because a universal regulatory 'clock' was set to run at… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share
A big tree seemed even more beautiful to me when I imagined thousands of tiny photosynthesis machines inside every leaf. So I went to… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share
We are trying to find drugs, small molecules, that people could take to make them disease-resistant, more youthful and healthy. Eventually we will find… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share
