Calico

Join us in welcoming our 2025 Summer Interns! They'll spend 12 weeks with our research and technology teams, gaining hands-on experience contributing to projects that explore the biology of aging. We’re glad to have them on board and look forward to what they’ll discover.

Aging doesn’t look the same for everyone. With data collected by UK Biobank, we’re studying how genetics shape traits as we age, using large, diverse populations to bridge foundational research and human biology. Read the story: calicolabs.com/story/investig…

Leanne Chan, a Principal Assoc. Scientist on our Proteomics team, develops new techniques to help characterize how protein levels change over time and designs automated protein analysis workflows. We asked why she joined Calico. Explore Life at Calico: calicolabs.com/life-at-calico

Aging is the dominant risk factor for the world’s most common diseases, yet the biological processes behind it remain only partly understood. At Calico, we focus on exploring those processes with the goal of improving health as people age. #OlderAmericansMonth

What can aging biology teach us about cancer? Our Head of Oncology, David Stokoe, Ph.D., shares how we study cancer through the lens of aging — using a systems-level approach to uncover mechanisms that could inform future interventions. #NationalCancerResearchMonth

As Head of Business Development, Solomon Simunovic works with Calico’s R&D leaders and Principal Investigators to identify and pursue collaborations that align with our mission. We talked to Solomon about what drew him to Calico. Explore Life at Calico: calicolabs.com/life-at-calico

We’re working to answer the most challenging biological questions about how humans age. Explore Calico Stories to learn about our diverse areas of research and progress toward potential interventions that may one day increase healthspan: calicolabs.com/calico-stories/

Madhurima Benekareddy is Director of Translational Neuroscience at Calico. Madhu and her team translate new research ideas into potential drug targets, one of many ways we're pushing the boundaries of science to better understand aging & disease. calicolabs.com/life-at-calico/

We’re proud to share that a recent paper exploring the mechanisms of protein degradation by Calico scientists and collaborators is one of the Top 25 most downloaded papers in Nature Communications Chemistry for 2024. Read the paper: nature.com/articles/s4200…

Meet Vladimir Akhmetov, a Sr. Scientist at Calico, where he applies his expertise in medicinal chemistry to design compounds aimed at age-related diseases. We asked him why he chose Calico. Explore Life at Calico: calicolabs.com/life-at-calico

Science is a team sport at Calico, driven by curiosity, creativity, and a commitment to better understand the biology of aging so that one day people may live longer, healthier lives. On #EmployeeAppreciationDay, we celebrate our talented team who make this work possible. 👏

We’re getting a head start on celebrating Int'l Women's Day with Qi Hao, our Dir. of Protein Sciences. Her new @CommsChem interview inspires us with her "never give up" philosophy, collaboration, & commitment to mentoring. Read more: nature.com/articles/s4200… #WomenInScience
