Mair Lab

The Mair lab investigates why aging increases susceptibility to chronic diseases. We explore how nutrition and environment affect aging rates, noting benefits of fasting and reduced food intake in extending health span across species. We study genetic pathways linking metabolism and aging, aiming to replicate benefits of dietary restriction without its drawbacks. Our research spans from yeast to humans, leveraging evolutionary conservation to understand and potentially mitigate human aging processes.
