Dudley Lamming is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the Department of Medicine, specializing in Endocrinology and Diabetes Metabolism. He received his PhD in Experimental Pathology from Harvard University and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. His research focuses on understanding nutrient-responsive signaling pathways that promote health and longevity, particularly in the context of metabolic health, aging, and dietary interventions. Lamming's laboratory has shown that low protein diets can improve metabolic health in both humans and mice by enhancing blood sugar control and reducing adiposity. Additionally, his research identifies dietary branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) as key regulators of metabolic effects. Current studies investigate the mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects with an emphasis on the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways and their role in metabolic signaling. Other research interests include developing interventions to treat and prevent diabetes and obesity, as well as exploring geroprotective strategies against Alzheimer’s disease. Lamming's work is supported by several prestigious institutions including the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the American Diabetes Association.
