Dudley Lamming is an Associate Professor in Medicine at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, serving as the Director of the Mouse Phenotyping & Surgery Core. His research focuses on the metabolic health implications of diet and aging. His work has demonstrated that low protein diets can enhance metabolic health by improving blood sugar control and reducing adiposity in both humans and mice. In particular, he has identified dietary branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) as critical regulators of metabolic processes. Lamming's ongoing investigations seek to elucidate the mechanisms through which these dietary components mediate beneficial effects, placing particular emphasis on the role of amino acid responsive kinase mTOR (mechanistic Target of Rapamycin). Furthermore, he is examining whether geroprotective agents can improve glycemic control and promote healthy aging while being pivotal in the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases.
