Elissa Epel
Elissa Epel is a health psychologist and professor at the University of California, San Francisco whose work examines stress, aging, metabolism, and well-being. She is best known for research on chronic stress and telomeres and for coauthoring The Telomere Effect with Nobel laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, helping bring stress biology to wider audiences.
전기 및 작가의 여정
Elissa Epel built her career at the intersection of psychology, biology, and contemplative practice. In a 2023 interview, she described a childhood in which meditation, spirituality, and self-exploration were ordinary family subjects, while summers around marine biology fostered a parallel fascination with how living systems work. That blend of influences matured into formal study: she trained in psychology and psychobiology at Stanford University, earned a PhD in clinical and health psychology at Yale University, completed clinical training at the Palo Alto Veterans Healthcare System, and then returned to the University of California, San Francisco for postdoctoral work. A major turning point came at UCSF, where her interest in measuring biological aging before old age led her into collaboration with Nobel laureate Elizabeth Blackburn and toward the telomere research that became central to her scientific identity.
