Animal lifespans range widely, from several days to over a century, yet the underlying reasons for these vast differences remain poorly understood. The goal of Jeff Stuart’s research is to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying longevity. Mitochondria, via their contribution to energy metabolism, cell death pathways, and redox regulated signal transduction pathways, are thought to be important effectors of longevity. Stuart uses a comparative approach to study these in mammalian species, including those that are exceptionally long-lived.
