Jeremy Van Raamsdonk is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University and a Scientist in the Metabolic Disorders and Complications Program at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC). Embedded within the Centre for Translational Biology, his laboratory focuses on the genetics of aging and neurodegeneration, leveraging the nematode C. elegans to dissect how mitochondrial function, oxidative stress and innate immunity dictate lifespan and resilience. Research Focus: Molecular mechanisms that extend healthy lifespan (geroscience) Mitochondrial signalling pathways (UPR mt , ROS, dynamics) Neuroprotective strategies for Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases Translational workflows from worm discoveries to mammalian pre-clinical models His recent publications (2021-2023) converge on the concept that mild mitochondrial stress activates adaptive transcriptional programs—via ATFS-1, DAF-16/FOXO and p38 MAPK—that not only extend life but also protect against proteotoxic stress in neurodegenerative disease models. Exercise, endosomal trafficking proteins and redox systems emerge as modifiable nodes that can recapitulate these benefits.
