Scott F. Leiser is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan Medical School, specializing in Molecular Integrative Physiology and Internal Medicine. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of aging, particularly how stress metabolism influences the aging process. Employing a translational, multi-system approach, his laboratory utilizes the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans alongside various mammalian in vitro tissue culture and mouse models. Dr. Leiser aims to develop treatments to prevent age-related diseases and extend human lifespan. In particular, he investigates how environmental perceptions and the metabolism of the flavin-containing monooxygenase gene family affect healthspan and longevity.
