DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sean M. OLDHAM -Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute
 \, La Jolla (CA)\, USA\nIn my lab\, we have been using a molecular genetic
  approach to study the nutrient sensing Insulin and Target of Rapamycin (T
 OR) pathways in lifespan\, metabolism (obesity and diabetes)\, and develop
 ment. It is becoming increasingly clear that these pathways have exception
 al relevance to the biology of aging and metabolic disorders. Indeed\, bot
 h the Insulin and TOR signaling pathways play critical mechanistic roles i
 n nutrition and lifespan in many different organisms and provide an entry 
 point into studying how energy metabolism affects these processes. These p
 henotypes will be important to understand given the increasing obesity and
  diabetes epidemic\, both critical diseases of aging. We are now performin
 g nutrient pathway screens and “omics” profiling to have the capabilit
 ies to tailor personalized nutrition to prevent diseases of aging and opti
 mize healthspan.
