Scientist · CambridgeCo-developed the WID tests, which detect women-specific cancers from a single sample, and helped build the field's framework for validating biomarkers of aging.
I map the broken system of ovarian aging and design the infrastructure women need to extend their healthspan. I'm a systems thinker more than a specialist. My work is translation: turning what the science knows into frameworks women can use, and into the market case founders and investors need to act on.
I'm a German founder and systems thinker focused on reproductive longevity. I see ovarian aging as an entry point to longevity science, not a niche fertility issue.
My work centers on one core insight: the ovaries are not just reproductive organs. They are a central system of female health. They influence cardiovascular health, brain function, bone density, metabolism, and overall aging. Yet they begin to decline decades before other organs, and this systemic impact has been largely overlooked.
I call myself the Reproductive Longevity Architect because the problem is structural. The science is moving. What slows it down is everything around the science: how research gets funded, how trials get designed, whether findings reach a clinic, whether a woman can afford what works. That is the system I work on.
I co-founded YUEVA Longevity as my current vehicle for turning these insights into real-world experiments and solutions.
Not an exhaustive list. A few of the people whose work has shaped how I think about this field.
