About
Lynn Fang is a leading researcher in genetic epidemiology, with a primary focus on telomere biology and its relationship to aging and chronic disease. Her most impactful work centers on the development and application of high-throughput methods for measuring telomere length in large, diverse populations. Fang was instrumental in the landmark study that successfully measured telomere length in over 100,000 participants from the Kaiser Permanente GERA cohort, a feat that required novel automated assays and sophisticated informatics. This foundational paper, cited over 137 times, demonstrated the feasibility of integrating telomere data into large-scale genomic studies, opening new avenues for investigating how telomere attrition contributes to age-related conditions. By enabling such massive data collection, Fang’s contributions have provided critical insights into the genetic and environmental factors that influence biological aging, solidifying her reputation as a key figure in population-level aging research.
