معرفی
Dr. Vladimir Titorenko is a Professor of Biology at Concordia University, specializing in molecular and cellular mechanisms of aging and age-related disorders. His research focuses on discovering anti-aging compounds and understanding their effects on longevity-defining pathways in yeast models.
Education
- PhD in Molecular Biology (Moscow)
Research Interests
Dr. Titorenko investigates how caloric restriction, plant extracts, and bile acids modulate lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and cellular stress responses to delay aging. His lab has identified lithocholic acid as a potent anti-tumor agent and geroprotector, with findings highlighted in major media outlets like Science Daily and Radio-Canada.
Key Contributions
Recent work includes discovering plant extracts that extend yeast lifespan via distinct signaling pathways and lipidome remodeling. His team employs metabolomics, lipidomics, and genetic approaches to unravel mechanisms linking metabolism to aging.
Awards
- Named Personnalité de la semaine La Presse/Radio-Canada for breakthrough aging research
Lab & Collaborations
His laboratory at Concordia develops anti-cancer agents targeting lipid metabolism and explores evolutionary theories of aging. Collaborations focus on translating yeast-based discoveries into clinical anti-aging therapeutics.
