Vijay K. Yadav is an American biologist and biogerontologist. He graduated from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He is currently a faculty at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. Dr. Yadav’s laboratory investigates how (semi)essential nutrients regulate whole-body homeostasis, and how this process gets dysregulated during aging to identify novel avenue to treat diseases of aging. His laboratory in the last two decades has shown that self-imposed domestication in humans has led to an imbalance in nutrient-genetic interactions leading to increased incidence of diseases. Dr. Yadav is best known for his research on evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of aging, in particular on how nutrients such as vitamin B12 and taurine regulate aging.
