E. Jane Albert Hubbard is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and the Department of Pathology at New York University Grossman School of Medicine. Her research focuses on understanding how diet and aging affect stem cells in vivo, utilizing the germline stem cell system in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as an experimental model. Her work explores the shared molecular and cellular characteristics of stem cells, highlighting the plasticity of the stem cell pool in response to genetic, environmental, and physiological cues. The laboratory takes advantage of the worm model, which has a short lifespan and allows for easy manipulation of dietary and genetic factors. Dr. Hubbard's findings indicate that the quality and quantity of bacterial dietary intake can influence stem cell pools through conserved signaling pathways, such as insulin-IGF, TOR, and TGFß. Additionally, aging studies reveal the regulatory effects of insulin-IGF signaling on both the morphology of the stem cell niche and organismal lifespan.
