Alex E Green serves as a Part-Time Adjunct Professor at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Health Sciences, specializing in interdisciplinary health sciences research with emphasis on metabolic pathways, muscle physiology, and pregnancy-related disorders. With extensive publication activity through 2024, Dr. Green maintains an active research program examining the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic health and disease.
Dr. Green's academic background includes:
- Doctorate in Medical Sciences - Nutrition and Metabolism from McMaster University (2020)
- MSc in Kinesiology/Cell Physiology from York University (2011-2013)
- BScH in Kinesiology from Queen's University (2007-2011)
Research interests focus on the critical role of NAD+ metabolism in physiological processes, particularly examining how NAD+ depletion contributes to placental dysfunction in preeclampsia and how maternal obesity affects fetal programming through metabolic pathways. Additional research explores skeletal muscle physiology, specifically how GCN5 enzyme activity affects muscle integrity, metabolism, and response to radiation exposure. The work bridges basic science with clinical applications, investigating mitochondrial function in metabolic diseases and aging processes.
Analysis of recent publications reveals a cohesive research program centered on NAD+ metabolism, with significant contributions to understanding its role in pregnancy complications, muscle physiology, and metabolic regulation. The work demonstrates methodological expertise in both animal models and molecular techniques, with applications spanning reproductive medicine, oncology, and metabolic disease research.
Dr. Green actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Ottawa and other institutions, particularly within the fields of metabolic health and muscle physiology. The research program demonstrates strong translational potential, connecting fundamental metabolic pathways with clinical conditions including preeclampsia, obesity-related disorders, and muscle wasting conditions.
