Nathan Basisty, PhD profile page

Dr. Nathan Basisty is a tenure track investigator at the National Institute on Aging. His lab, the Translational Geroproteomics Unit, utilizes proteomics for translational geroscience, with a focus on biomarker and drug-target discovery using mass spectrometry-based approaches, as well as developing methods to evaluate proteome dynamics in vivo. Dr. Basisty received his PhD in pathology and BS in biochemistry from the University of Washington, where he investigated the role of protein turnover in mammalian aging and longevity using novel combinations of metabolic labelling, LC-MS/MS and software tools. In 2015, he joined The Buck Institute for Research on Aging, where he did his postdoctoral fellowship in the labs of Dr. Birgit Schilling and Dr. Judith Campisi. There he developed novel and specialized proteomic approaches to understand aging processes and age-related diseases, including the application of data-independent acquisition (DIA) or SWATH workflows to identify and quantify PTMs and secretomes.
