Rutgers Professor to Present Research on 'Dietary Amino Acid Restriction and Healthspan' Today
Tracy Gautsch Anthony, professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences, Rutgers University
The Department of Food Science and the Center for Human Nutrition will host Dr. Tracy Gautsch Anthony at 3 p.m. today, Monday, Dec. 4, in rooms D1/D2 in the Food Science building or via Zoom. Dr. Anthony will present her research on "Dietary amino acid restriction and healthspan."
Anthony is a professor of nutritional sciences at Rutgers University. Anthony received her Ph.D. in nutritional sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and was an American Diabetes Association Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Anthony has published 82 peer-reviewed manuscripts which delineate mechanisms of metabolic and proteostasis control by diet, drugs, genetics and environmental stressors. She is especially interested in nutrient sensing by the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) and how it functions to protect and preserve tissue and organ function. Anthony recently received the Osborne and Mendel Award from the American Society for Nutrition for work studying the ISR in the context of amino acid insufficiency. Anthony has been continuously funded by the NIH for over 12 years to examine how amino acid insufficiency impacts health and disease outcomes. The mechanisms she studies are foundational to healthy life extension.
We hope you will be able to attend what promises to be an insightful and thought-provoking talk on a cutting-edge area of nutritional sciences. We invite you to attend in person or virtually. We look forward to seeing you there!
