Yousin Suh, Ph.D., is the Charles and Marie Robertson Professor of Reproductive Sciences in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Genetics and Development at Columbia University, where she also serves as Director of Reproductive Aging in the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Dr. Suh is a pioneer in using functional genomics to study the fundamental mechanisms of human aging. Her research has revealed how the body’s nutrient-sensing pathways, metabolism, and DNA stability contribute to human longevity, and more recently, how these factors affect reproductive health. She is deeply committed to improving human health by developing new therapies and technologies that target aging and age-related diseases.
Her work has been recognized with the Glenn Award for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging, and she is an elected member of the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research, a global nonprofit dedicated to extending healthy human life. Dr. Suh has organized numerous international conferences on the genetics of aging, serves on the editorial boards of several journals including PLoS Genetics and Aging Cell, and advises various research institutions and biotech companies.

A New Paradigm for Women’s Health and Longevity Strategy
Discover how the ovary, long overlooked in medical research, is emerging as a powerful lever to extend health and vitality in women over 35.
Dr. Yousin Suh’s groundbreaking work is reshaping how we think about prevention and female productivity, with direct implications for HR, corporate wellness, and diversity management.
The Ovary as an Accelerated Lab for Pharmaceutical Innovation
Through the VIBRANT project, Suh demonstrates that it is possible to test the effectiveness of anti-aging drugs in just three months, rather than waiting decades.
This model opens new opportunities for the biotech industry, shortens validation timelines, and paves the way for more sustainable investments in preventive and personalized medicine.
