About
Jue Lin is a leading researcher in the molecular epidemiology of aging, with a primary focus on telomere biology. Her work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of how telomere length serves as a biomarker for health, aging, and disease risk. Lin’s most notable contribution is the development and application of a high-throughput automated assay for telomere length measurement, a breakthrough that made large-scale population studies feasible. This methodology was central to her landmark 2015 paper, which reported telomere length data from over 100,000 participants in the Kaiser Permanente GERA cohort—a study that has garnered 137 citations and remains a foundational resource in the field. By enabling the analysis of telomere dynamics across diverse populations, Lin has helped bridge basic molecular biology with public health research. Her work has profound implications for understanding how genetic and environmental factors influence aging and age-related diseases. Through her rigorous, data-driven approach, Jue Lin has established herself as a key figure in translational aging research, providing tools and insights that continue to shape the discipline.
