The inaugural fellowship has been awarded to\u00a0Ankita Chadda<\/a>, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Salk Assistant Professor\u00a0Agnieszka Kendrick<\/a>. Kendrick\u2019s team studies cellular transport\u2014the system of microscopic highways and specialized protein vehicles that move nearly everything inside a cell. This system is indispensable to cellular function and survival. With La Mer\u2019s support, Chadda will use cutting-edge technologies to explore how aging disrupts cellular transport in neurons. This work may reveal new strategies to prevent or reverse transport-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the Salk Institute, we are driven by the pursuit of fundamental discoveries that improve human health,\u201d says Gerald Joyce<\/a>, president of the Salk Institute. \u201cWe are deeply grateful to La Mer for supporting this mission by funding research into aging at a molecular level and empowering the next generation of scientists. Through this unique partnership, we can apply our scientific expertise to explore new frontiers in healthy aging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Postdoctoral trainees like Chadda are essential to biomedical science. These trainees have recently earned a PhD, MD, or both. With a faculty mentor, they assist in or lead their own research projects as they take steps toward establishing their careers as independent investigators. Postdoctoral researchers and their work are typically funded by federal or private grants or fellowships, making the new La Mer-funded fellowship a unique approach to empowering the next generation of scientific leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa Mer has always believed in the power of bioenergetics to enhance skin\u2019s natural renewal,\u201d says\u00a0Sandra Main, global brand president of La Mer. \u201cOur partnership with the Salk Institute reflects our deep commitment to advancing the science of cellular energy, ensuring that our innovations continue to push the boundaries of aging science. As a brand founded by a true visionary, we are privileged to honor our legacy by partnering with an innovative, world-class institute, with some of the most globally renowned scientists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together, Salk and La Mer will explore the intersection of molecular biology and energy metabolism to better understand how the aging process can be slowed\u2014or even reversed. The insights from Chadda\u2019s research may inform future innovations in both medicine and skincare.<\/p>\n

About La Mer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Mer is a brand that represents hope, healing, and one man’s deep respect for the power of the living sea. It all began over 50 years ago when Dr. Max Huber, a physicist, embarked on a healing quest after a lab accident. Twelve years and 6,000 experiments later, Miracle Broth™\u2014the legendary elixir\u2014was born. Since joining The Est\u00e9e Lauder Companies in 1995, La Mer has become the most coveted skin care brand in the world.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":54101,"template":"","faculty":[],"disease-research":[],"class_list":["post-54097","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalk Institute and La Mer launch unique fellowship to advance healthy aging research - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/es\/news-release\/salk-institute-and-la-mer-launch-unique-fellowship-to-advance-healthy-aging-research\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk Institute and La Mer launch unique fellowship to advance healthy aging research - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute announces a landmark partnership with luxury skincare brand La Mer.
