About Rukmini Mukherjee
I’m a cell biologist driven to understand how cells sense, respond, and adapt to stress—knowledge that I now channel toward discovery research in aging and rejuvenation.My training spans over a decade of molecular and cell biology—from uncovering ubiquitin-linked signaling mechanisms during bacterial infection at the Max Planck Institute to exploring mitochondrial and ER dynamics during my PhD. At Altos Labs, I integrate my expertise in autophagy, organelle biology, and microscopy to identify and validate new molecular targets that enhance cellular resilience and healthspan.I’m passionate about bridging fundamental science with translational research and collaborating across disciplines to advance the next generation of therapies that restore cell health and function.
