Citation | Alex Gould is a pioneer in the emerging field of developmental metabolism. Combining innovative metabolic profiling methods with genetic analysis, he has identified how animals respond to environmental stresses during early life. He has shown how exposure to mild metabolic stresses during development can lead to substantial increases in longevity. He has also identified key metabolic processes that selectively protect neural stem cells in the developing brain from starvation and hypoxia. Alex’s work has shown in molecular detail how organisms adapt, within their lifetime, to a hostile environment. |
