Jacob C. Kimmel, Ph.D.

Jacob Kimmel is a Principal Investigator at Calico Life Sciences leading a research program focused on repurposing developmental programs to address aging and age-related disease. His recent work has revealed the influence of cell identity on aging trajectories, discovered mechanisms of age-related impairment in muscle stem cells, and developed machine learning methods for the analysis of single cell genomics data. Prior to Calico, Jacob completed Ph.D. training with Wallace Marshall and Andrew Brack at the University of California San Francisco where he developed methods to measure cell state transitions with timelapse microscopy techniques.
