Speaker Bio: Our esteemed speaker, Lilli Fishman is the Director of Academic Affairs at SENS Research Foundation (SRF). At SRF Lilli is responsible for recruiting, selecting, placing, and mentoring students for SRF’s academic programs, including Summer, Postbaccalaureate, Graduate Internship, Master’s, and PhD programs. After students are selected, Lilli works with her team to plan curriculum and host regular meetings to develop student’s soft skills, with a special focus on helping students achieve their career goals and improve their scientific communication. Lilli is a research scientist by training. She earned her PhD in cellular and molecular biology from the University of Toledo where she led an international team of scientists to discover a unique sub-cellular structure that is critical in fertilization and development in human and cattle sperm. After that, she went on to become a USDA NIFA Fellow during her postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Davis, where she investigated the activation of the embryonic genome to eventually improve development rates in clinical and agricultural embryology settings. Lilli is passionate about solving life’s biggest problems: how we are born, and how we age – when combined with her drive to build equitable representation in advanced training opportunities, her goal is to to inspire and empower the next generation of pioneers in the field of anti-aging
