Dr. Vadim Fraifeld
Vadim Fraifeld, Ph.D., M.D.
is Senior Researcher, Department of Microbiology and Immunology,
Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Aging, Ben-Gurion University
of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel.
Vadim’s research interests are
biology of aging and longevity and thermoregulation. His research
projects are
genomic and proteomic analyses of exeptional longevity,
analysis of protein profile in aging muscle using MALDI-TOF mass
spectrometry: implications in sarcopenia,
mechanisms of anti-tumor activity of polyphenolic compounds, and
alternative pathways of arachidonate metabolism, fever, and aging.
He coauthored
Evidence supporting involvement of leukotrienes in LPS-induced
hypothermia in mice,
p66ShcA and aging: modulation by longevity-promoting
agent
aurintricarboxylic acid,
Superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities
in
the liver of young and old mice: linear regression and
correlation,
Dietary restriction modifies fever response in aging rats,

Vadim earned his M.D. at the Lvov Medical Institute, Lvov, Ukraine in
1974 and his Ph.D. at the Institute of Gerontology, Kiev, Ukraine, in
1989. Watch his SENS 3 presentation
