Prof. Johan Auwerx
Chair, Laboratory of Integrative Systems Physiology | École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)
About
Belgian researcher whose lab demonstrated mitochondrial unfolded protein response and NAD+ regulation in aging. His group's work on urolithin A - a postbiotic NAD+ pathway modulator - extended the precursor space beyond NMN/NR.
Key contributions
- UPR-mitochondrial NAD+ link
- Urolithin A research lineage
- Mitochondrial integrative physiology

Why their work matters for Malaysian buyers
Prof. Johan Auwerx's research forms part of the evidence base we use to evaluate NMN and NR products available in Malaysia. When we make claims about dose ranges, safety, mechanism, or efficacy on this site, those claims trace back through papers like the ones above. The Malaysian regulatory framework (NPRA notification, JAKIM halal certification) does not perform efficacy review on supplements - buyers must do their own evidence weighting. Researcher profiles help you verify that the underlying science is robust, not just marketing.
How we cite this work
Every NMN Malaysia article that depends on findings from Prof. Johan Auwerx's lab carries an inline citation linking to a structured PubMed entry. You can verify any claim by clicking the citation and reading the source. This cited-research model is the bedrock of our editorial policy - see the 4-step review process for how we handle every health claim.
