Unlocking The Secrets Of Metabolic Health With DAHLIA4
With Professor Alex Tups

In this conversation, Professor Alex Tups discusses his extensive research on metabolic regulation, focusing on the roles of leptin and insulin in the brain. He shares insights into the discovery of butein, a compound found in the Dahlia flower, and its potential to improve blood sugar regulation and combat neuroinflammation. The discussion highlights the importance of diet, gut health, and the synergistic effects of flavonoids in promoting overall well-being. Professor Tups emphasizes the need for further research and clinical trials to validate the benefits of his findings. In this conversation, Alexander Tups and Lisa Tamati discuss the journey of research from the lab to market, focusing on the supplement Dahlia 4 and its potential impact on health, particularly in relation to metabolic dysregulation and neuroinflammation. They explore the importance of consumer awareness regarding supplements, the role of circadian rhythms in health, and the need for proactive health measures. The discussion emphasizes the unique mechanism of Dahlia 4 in targeting brain inflammation and its implications for conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

BIO

Alexander Tups studied Biology at Heinrich Heine University and Philipps University of Marburg, specializing in Animal Physiology, Genetics, and Developmental Biology. He completed his Ph.D. with summa cum laude at the Rowett Research Institute and Philipps University, where he investigated neuroendocrine mechanisms regulating seasonal body weight, supported by Marie Curie and Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Scholarships.

After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Otago, Tups received a prestigious junior group leader grant from the German Ministry of Education and Research, establishing his independent research group on neuronal nutrition physiology early in his career. His groundbreaking work on brain regulation of body weight and glucose homeostasis earned him numerous awards, including the Michael Harbuz Prize (2009), the Ernst and Berta Scharrer Award (2014), Otago University's Commercialisation Researcher Award (2023), and the Research Excellence Prize from the Physiological Society of New Zealand (2023).

Tups is dedicated to research translation and commercialization. His research has been pivotal in identifying the role of neuroinflammation in metabolic disease, and his laboratory now focuses on pharmacological strategies to address the root cause of these conditions. He has successfully commercialized a patented nutraceutical for blood glucose support, based on 12 years of biomedical research.

Now an Associate Professor at the University of Otago, Tups has published 48 peer-reviewed papers, most as lead author. He also frequently reviews research for leading international journals and grant agencies. His expertise even extends to advising Dunedin's city council on the health impacts of artificial lighting, influencing the installation of warm street lighting in the city.
