Adam Antebi (born 1961) is an American-born molecular biologist performing research on fundamental mechanisms underlying the processes of aging and longevity.
[2] Antebi has performed research on the molecular mechanisms regulating life span, particularly in model organisms such as C. elegans and the turquoise killifish.
[3] Following his PhD, Antebi conducted postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD under the mentorship of Dr. Edward M.
[7][3] Antebi's work has identified several regulatory pathways—such as steroidal,[8] insulin/IGF, mTOR[9][10], microRNA[11] and AMPK signaling[12]—that play a role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating lifespan.
[13] His work includes the regulation of animal life span by components of hormone driven developmental clocks,[8] and identifying small nucleoli as a cellular hallmark of longevity across taxa.
