| Bio: |
Leonid A. Gavrilov, Ph.D. Dr. Gavrilov is an expert in mechanisms of aging, mortality, and longevity. He has Ph. D. in genetics and M.Sc. in chemistry, both from Moscow State University, Russia. Dr. Gavrilov has become known world-wide as the author of the book "The Biology of Life Span", cited as a recommended reference by Encyclopedia Britannica. He is a Research Associate at the Center on Aging at NORC/The University of Chicago and Principal Investigator in the grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (Independent Scientist Award). Dr. Gavrilov is an Editorial Board Member of "Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine","Experimental Gerontology" and "The Scientific World Journal". He appears in Who¡¯s Who in America; Who¡¯s Who in Science and Engineering; and Who¡¯s Who in Medicine and Healthcare by Marquis Who¡¯s Who. He authored nearly a hundred scientific publications and is an Expert (referee)for 17 peer-reviewed scientific journals. He also acted as Expert for the National Institute on Aging (USA), the National Research Council at the National Academy of Sciences (USA) and Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Prior to immigrating to the United States in 1997, Dr. Gavrilov was Principal Research Scientist at the Moscow State University, Russia. Dr. Gavrilov is the founder of a new reliability theory of aging, which has already received significant attention. |
