We're honored to have Dr. Vilhelm Bohr guiding Niagen® Bioscience's research efforts.
Dr. Bohr is one of the world's most published researchers in aging and neurodegenerative disease, with over 624 journal publications. For three decades, he served as Chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics at the National Institute on Aging (NIH), where he made groundbreaking discoveries about DNA repair pathways, oxidative stress, aging and neurodegeneration
His pioneering work revealed critical connections between DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and age-related neurodegeneration. Dr. Bohr's research on energy homeostasis has fundamentally shaped our understanding of healthy aging.
Now maintaining his research lab at the University of Copenhagen, Dr. Bohr continues studying the benefits of NR (nicotinamide riboside) – bringing decades of expertise directly to our mission of advancing healthy aging science.
