About Jonathan R. Brestoff
Jonathan R. Brestoff, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., is an assistant professor of pathology and immunology at Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM). He completed his M.D./Ph.D. at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania with Dr. David Artis, where Dr. Brestoff’s work identified that group 2 innate lymphoid cells induce beige fat to limit the development of obesity. He then moved to WUSM in 2016 for his residency in pathology, during which time Dr. Brestoff completed his postdoctoral training with Dr. Steven Teitelbaum. For his research on a process called intercellular mitochondria transfer, Dr. Brestoff was awarded the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award and Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award for Medical Scientists, allowing him to launch his independent laboratory at WUSM in 2019. His lab continues to study immunometabolism and intercellular mitochondria transfer, leading to his lab’s pioneering studies on mitochondria transfer from adipocytes to macrophages, which was named in Cell Metabolism’s Best of 2021 special issue. His work on these subjects has been published in Nature, Cell, Science, Cell Metabolism, Nature Immunology, Nature Metabolism, and other top journals. He is a member of the scientific advisory board for LUCA Science, Inc., based in Tokyo, and is a trustee at his alma mater, Skidmore College.
