Professor of Pathology and Adjunct Professor of Genome Sciences.
His current research interests are all related to the application of genetic concepts and methodologies to the elucidation of the pathobiology of aging in humans and other mammals. There are two broad areas of interest: 1) Genetic and epigenetic regulation of stochastic variations in gene expression within homologous somatic cells, their expanding age-related drifts, and their relationship to the quasi-stochastic distributions of a wide range of geriatric pathologies. 2) The discovery of novel genetic loci mutations at which result in segmental progeroid syndromes that are operationally referred to as Atypical Werner Syndrome. These studies are expedited by the establishment of an International Registry of Werner syndrome in our laboratory.
He's founder of Academy for Health & Lifespan Research.
