One of the principal areas of my research has been the examination of the causes of late life disability. My research has examined the functional and metabolic consequences of physical activity in elderly people as well as how dietary protein and energy needs change with advancing age. I was the first to describe the condition called sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Sarcopenia is a multifactorial problem resulting from a number of factors including decreased physical activity, decreased testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone production...

Dr. Rottiers recieved her PhD from Ghent University working on C. elegans hormonal regulation in the lab of Adam Antebi. She did her postdoctoral work at MGH Cancer Center/Harvard Medical School in Boston studying conserved regulation of lipid homeostasis. In 2013, Dr. Rottiers moved to the Molecular Biology and Genetics Department at Cornell as an independant researcher where she secured funding from the American Heart Association as well as the National Institute on aging (NIA/NIH) for her work on metabolism and aging in C. elegans . She joined the...
