Charles Brenner

Alfred E Mann Family Foundation Chair of Diabetes & Cancer Metabolism, Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope

Charles Brenner is a biochemist and leading expert on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), the central catalyst of metabolism. He discovered the nicotinamide riboside (NR) kinase pathway and the technologies that led to development of NR as an NAD-booster. He also developed quantitative targeted NAD metabolomics, which allowed him and others to determine that the NAD system is disturbed in a wide variety of diseases and conditions of metabolic stress including obesity, alcoholism, time zone disruption, DNA damage, reactive oxygen species stress, noise-induced hearing loss, central and peripheral neurodegeneration, infection and inflammation, heart failure, postpartum, and some malignancies. Dr. Brenner’s work has led to more than 50 registered clinical trials for NR and global interest in NR for healthy aging.
