Jae Hur is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California. His academic journey includes a B.A. in Biology from the California Institute of Technology, a Ph.D. in Biology from Harvard University, postdoctoral training at Harvard and UCLA, and prior service as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Harvey Mudd College. Research Focus: Dr. Hur investigates the molecular mechanisms of aging and longevity using Drosophila melanogaster . His work integrates genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology to explore mitochondrial dysfunction, proteostasis, stem cell dynamics, and genetic interventions affecting lifespan. Key research themes include: Mitochondrial biology in aging (Complex I/V, oxidative stress) Proteasome regulation and proteostasis PGC-1 homologs in tissue homeostasis Evolutionary studies of bdelloid rotifers Publication Analysis: His recent articles (2019–2021) emphasize experimental interventions in aging (e.g., proteasome overexpression), while earlier work (2009–2016) includes foundational studies on mitochondrial genetics and evolutionary biology. Thematically, 80% focus on aging/longevity mechanisms, 13% on evolutionary genomics, and 7% on biology education. Teaching: He instructs courses spanning foundational to specialized topics, including: Bio 52: Introduction to Biology Core Lab 57: Synthetic Biology Bio 111: Molecular Biology Lab Bio 186: Molecular Biology of Aging Seminar No awards, grants, or student advisees are documented in the provided materials.
