Charvet Laboratory For Translating Time

We use cutting-edge tools
to Translating Time!

We explore how brains grow, adapt, and age across species, from playful kittens to wise humans. Our work blends cutting-edge neuroscience and data science to find corresponding ages across species.

Our Translating Time websites equate corresponding ages across 18 mammalian species. We now translate ages in chimpanzees. Check out our research (50 articles)!

Translating Time has a new look

In our lab, you’ll gain hands-on experience, contribute to real-world breakthroughs, and join a team that values rigorous science and big ideas. If you’re ready to ask bold questions and push boundaries of what’s known, you’ll feel right at home. We have helped many students achieve their goals.

Grey Kitten

We leveraged big data to discover how old a cat is in human years. Nature covered our work. Check out our work!

Neuroimaging research

We have worked with diffusion MRI, which is a technique to map the brain’s wiring. We discover what makes each brain unique.

These are diffusion MR scans of mouse and human brains

Genetics research

We use tools from statistical genetics to equate ages across species. Here is some of work.

Learn through problem solving!

Over the past 15 years, Dr. Charvet has mentored students with impressive careers in health. For example, 75% of the undergraduate students she trained now have MDs. She trains students to think critically, be creative, and to problem solve. These skills are assets in an ever changing economy. Please get in touch if you are interested in pursuing a research and education experience at charvetcj(at)gmail.com. We would be happy to consider supporting you!
