Jenna Bartley, PhD, received her BS, MS and PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Connecticut. Her graduate research focused on interrelated aspects of human health, metabolism and muscle function focusing on human subject research. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship focused on immunology and aging utilizing murine models of aging and infection. She became an assistant professor in 2019 in the Deptartment of Immunology and Center on Aging at UConn Health. Her independent research focuses on combining her unique education and training background in both murine and human subject research to focus on translational aging research. Her multidisciplinary research uses geroscience approaches to bridge the bench and the bedside to uncover common pathways among the aging process and to develop potential interventions to prevent age-related declines in immune responses, physical function and overall healthspan.
