mTOR in Aging Ep4 - Rapamycin and Rapalogs Dr David Sabatini Interview Series
from Modern Healthspan · host Modern Healthspan
In this video Dr. Sabatini discusses rapamycin, how it acts on mTORC1 and mTORC2 and the rapalogs, drugs which are similar to rapamycin but may be more clinically effective. Dr. David Sabatini is an American scientist and Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well as a member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. He is known for his important contributions in the areas of cell signaling and cancer metabolism, most notably the discovery of mTOR, more than 20 years ago. Since then Dr. Sabatini has continued to work on better understanding this complex regulator of our metabolism Some key references.
