About Me

Dr. Jorge Romero is a geroscientist and nutritionist with a PhD in Molecular Biology collaborating with the U.S. National Institute on Aging. His work focuses on how nutrition and longevity interventions influence the pace of biological aging.

AGING RESEARCHER

Since 2018, he has conducted research across animal models and large human cohorts, including work within the Translational Gerontology Branch at the NIA and the Laboratory of Epidemiology and Population Sciences. His research has been published in leading journals, including Cell Metabolism and Nature Aging, and highlighted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He was a member of the computational core of the Senescence Cell Consortium (SenNet).

nutrition scientist

He conducted research in nutrition at the IMDEA Research Institute in Food & Health Sciences and the Cancer Research Center, studying the links between nutrition and age-related diseases such as cancer. He holds a Master’s degree in Agri-Food Chemistry and a degree in Human Nutrition.

biological clocks

He developed a machine learning–based biological clock to predict biological age. This work was published in Nature Aging and recognized with the 2022 Nathan W. Shock Award from the NIA.

He lives between Madrid and Baltimore with his wife and daughter and is driven by a deep curiosity about why, despite similar backgrounds, some of us age faster than others.
