Morgan Levine, PhD

Principal Investigator at the Altos Labs San Diego Institute of Science

Dr. Morgan Levine is a Principal Investigator at the Altos Labs San Diego Institute of Science. Prior to joining Altos, she was a ladder rank professor at Yale University School of Medicine. Levine is considered a leader in the biology of aging, most famous for generating cutting-edge methods for quantifying the molecular and physiological changes that occurs over an organism’s lifetime.

Her work relies on interdisciplinary approaches, integrating theories and techniques from machine learning and cellular biology to track trajectories aging cells and organisms take over time. Her vision is to develop multi-scale computational models that translate how molecular states of cells drive emergent phenotypes, like health and disease at the tissue, organ-system, or organismal level. Dr. Levine has received numerous awards for her work, including the Vincent Cristofalo Rising Star Award in Aging Research in 2021 and the Nathan Shock New Investigator Award in 2020.
