Biography
Dr Kevin Nay is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Monash University based at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Melbourne, Australia.
Kevin completed his BSc in Sport and Physical Education Science in 2013 at University Jean Monnet (Saint-Etienne, France). He then earned his MSc in Integrative Biology with a specialisation in Muscular Physiology and Related Pathologies in 2016 at University Claude Bernard (Lyon, France).
His thesis which started in 2016 was a collaboration between INRAE (French National Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Research, Montpellier, France) and University of Rennes (Rennes, France). His work was supported by the French Space Agency (CNES: Centre National d’Étude Spatiale, Toulouse, France) and was focused on the role of iron metabolism and gut microbiota on skeletal muscle decline upon microgravity condition. In 2019, he was awarded his PhD, titled “Iron and gut microbiota: new targets to prevent functional and muscle decline due to hypoactivity”.
In 2020, he moved to Australia for his first postdoc experience with Dr John W Scott at the Australian Catholic University and St. Vincent’s Institute of Medical Research before relocating at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS) in 2022. In Dr John Scott’s team, he worked on the CaMKK2 signalling pathway, which is a regulator of brain function and whole-body energy metabolism.
In 2024, Kevin started a new postdoc experience at MIPS within Dr Nicholas Veldhuis and Dr Michael Whittaker's labs where he focused on the role of TRPV4 channel in mitochondrial homeostasis, immune response and metabolism.
