Dr. Paola Sebastiani, Director of the Center for Quantitative Methods and Data Science at the Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies, Tufts Medical Center, and Director of the Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) Center at Tufts CTSI, was interviewed by Inform magazine for an article titled, “The Fountain of Youth Could Be on Your Plate.”
The story describes research uncovering distinct metabolomic signatures linked to chronological aging, longevity, and mortality risk. With personalized nutrition and precision medicine on the rise, the findings have strong translational potential. The work emphasizes the need for carefully designed intervention trials targeting nutrient intake—especially omega-3 fatty acids—to slow aging processes and prevent the early onset of frailty.
