Andrew Dillin

Andrew Dillin is a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator and the Thomas and Stacey Siebel Distinguished Chair in Stem Cell Research at the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at Berkeley . His lab studies the loss of protein homeostasis in aging, particularly in C. elegans.
His lab specifically looks at the manipulation of stress response pathways within a single celltype or subcomponents within specific cell types. In particular, his lab found a cell non-autonomous mitochondrial stress response that can be transmitted to very distal cells.
