Titel:

"Bench to bedside with ketone bodies in geroscience"

Dr. John Newman is a geriatrician and physician-scientist who is an assistant professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and an associate professor in the Division of Geriatrics at the University of California San Francisco. His bench-to-bedside research program studies how the biology of aging can illuminate and inspire new therapies for complex geriatric syndromes such as delirium, frailty, and dementia. A key focus of his translational work is the application of ketone bodies as geroscience signaling metabolites. He is an NIA Beeson Scholar, thought leader in translational geroscience, and co-founder of the geroscience-focused Buck Institute Clinical Research Center. He is a graduate of Yale University, received his MD/PhD degree from the University of Washington, and completed his clinical training in internal medicine and geriatric medicine at the University of California San Francisco. His clinical work focuses on preventing delirium and functional decline among hospitalized older adults on inpatient geriatric medicine services.
