Dr Nicolaas Deutz, MD, PhD, currently serves as Director for the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity (CTRAL). For more than 30 years, his research background and expertise have focused on nutrition, metabolism, and physiology studies involving stable isotope methodologies in humans and animals. Dr Deutz has extensive experience with isotopic calculations, validation, and data interpretation. The stable isotope approaches are used in several studies to unravel the metabolic changes in patients with chronic diseases (i.e., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, cystic fibrosis, chronic heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea, mild cognitive impairment and dementia, autism spectrum disorder). This research led to new insights into protein and amino acid kinetics in subjects with chronic disease. It resulted in specific recommendations for nutritional supplements to reduce muscle wasting. Recently, he started studying the anabolic effects of specialized nutritional supplements in different chronic diseases and models of disease. Using translational approaches is a logical extension of the body of his research in the field of protein and amino acids metabolism. Dr Deutz obtained his MD and PhD at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
