Vishwa Deep Dixit is a Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in Pathology and Immunobiology. He received his DVM from Haryana Agricultural University and completed his PhD at the University of Hannover, Germany. Dixit completed postdoctoral training at Morehouse School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). His research emphasizes the field of Immunometabolism, particularly exploring the molecular targets that can enhance healthspan and longevity. His lab studies the NLRP3 inflammasome's role in 'inflammaging' and immune senescence, which contribute to age-related diseases. Ongoing projects include the investigation of caloric restriction and its potential as a pro-longevity intervention. Dixit's findings include identifying the hormone FGF21, which protects against thymic degeneration and T cell senescence, and the macrophage subset Nerve-associated macrophages (NAMs). His research has been supported by multiple grants from the NIH and various foundations.
