Sierra Lore
Buck Institute
Doctoral Student
Sierra Lore is a PhD candidate in the Cellular and Genetic Medicine graduate program within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering from Stanford University. Now, co-advised by Morten Scheibye-Knudsen at the University of Copenhagen and Eric Verdin at the Buck Institute, her work investigates the accumulation of somatic mutations across development and aging.
Lore has also developed a growing interest in replacement-based approaches to aging. She first explored this area in a Nature Aging review paper, “Replacement as an Aging Intervention,” which surveys emerging opportunities and challenges in organ- and tissue-level replacement strategies. Building on this work, she later organized and led the first-ever Replacement in Aging session at the Aging Research and Drug Discovery conference, convening researchers from multiple disciplines to advance dialogue in this emerging subfield of aging.
