Patrick C. Bradshaw is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at East Tennessee State University. He received his B.S. in Bioengineering from the University of Illinois-Urbana and earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from The Ohio State University. He was also a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Missouri (2001–2003), Virginia Tech (2003–2005), and the University of Wisconsin–Madison (2005–2007). His research interests include mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in aging and neurodegenerative diseases; mechanisms of dietary restriction-induced longevity; the role of NADPH and redox imbalance in aging; RNAi screening using C. elegans nematodes to identify genes mediating aging-induced mitochondrial dysfunction; and metabolic therapies with select amino acids, ketone bodies, and citric acid cycle intermediates for the treatment of aging-associated disorders.
