Dr. Changhan David Lee, PhD
USC Leonard Davis School
Biography & Research Background
Changhan David Lee, PhD, is a Professor at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. He was the lead author on the seminal 2015 paper describing the discovery of MOTS-c (Cell Metabolism). His work established MOTS-c as an 'exercise mimetic' and identified its ability to translocate to the nucleus to regulate gene expression in response to metabolic stress. He has also investigated the immunomodulatory functions of MOTS-c, describing it as a host defense peptide. Key publications: 'MOTS-c promotes metabolic homeostasis and reduces obesity and insulin resistance' (2015) and 'MOTS-c Translocates to the Nucleus to Regulate Nuclear Gene Expression in Response to Metabolic Stress' (2018, Cell Metabolism). Changhan David Lee is referenced as one of the leading scientists in MOTS-c research.
