Professor Dame Linda Partridge FRS FRSE FMedSci works on the biology of ageing. Her research is directed to understanding the mechanisms by which healthy lifespan can be extended in laboratory model organisms and humans. Her work has focused in particular on the role of nutrient-sensing pathways, such as the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway, and on the role of diet, and her primary interest is in geroprotective drugs.

She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Royal Society's Croonian Medal and Lecture, and was appointed DBE for services to science in 2009. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society and the Academy of Medical Sciences, and a Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
