Short Description NIA scientist unraveling calorie‑restriction mimetics.
Description Dr. Rafael de Cabo runs the Interventions Testing Program (ITP) at the U.S. National Institute on Aging, systematically evaluating compounds like rapamycin, acarbose, and metformin in mouse longevity studies. He identified time‑restricted feeding as a robust geroprotective regimen independent of caloric intake. De Cabo’s comparative trials set rigorous standards for pre‑clinical aging pharmacology.
