Is mTOR the Key to Anti-Aging and Longevity?

In this episode, we have Dr. Dudley Lamming, PhD, Associate Professor and Researcher at the Department of Medicine, Endocrinology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We will talk about aging and specifically about a molecule that has been gaining interest in the scientific field: mTOR. We’ll discuss its importance, how it is regulated, and much more. Additionally, we will explore the effects of Rapamycin and its potential pharmacological applications. Join us for an insightful discussion! Dr. Lamming’s research focuses on understanding how nutrient-responsive signaling pathways can be harnessed to promote health and longevity.
