Research Description:
Our goal is to understand how nutrient-responsive signaling pathways can be harnessed to promote health and longevity. Rapamycin, an inhibitor of the protein kinase mTOR, can improve both health and longevity in model organisms including mammals. Understanding and manipulating the mTOR signaling pathway through dietary, pharmaceutical or genetic interventions may provide insight into the treatment of age-related diseases, including diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease.
