Synopsis

In this very information-loaded podcast, we talk about many topics pertaining to biochemistry, autophagy, mTOR, Immunometabolism, protein structures, the impact of aging in muscle protein synthesis and the important role of protein in living organisms.  BIO: Lucas Tafur is currently working as a postdoc studying the regulation of TOR complexes in yeast. He is onterested in a wide range of topics related to human health and metabolism, and lately mostly towards skeletal muscle. He is trying to understand physiology using a bottom-up approach, starting from the molecular basis and building up to the organismal level, considering an evolutionary background for interpretation. He currently writes articles in his personal blog www.p70s6k.com and in Nutmol, a spanish website on nutrition and metabolism with a molecular biology-centric perspective (www.nutmol.com).
