InstitutionsHoward University

Antonei Benjamin Csoka is a biogerontologist at Howard University who works on the molecular biology of aging, regenerative medicine, and epigenetics.[1][2][3]

Education

Csoka earned a bachelor's degrees at Newcastle University in Genetics. He has a master's in Molecular Pathology from University of Leicester and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology from University of Debrecen.[4]

Research career

He was a member of the consortium that identified the Lamin A gene as the cause of the accelerated aging disease Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome and participated in the first National Institutes of Health – Progeria Research Foundation workshop.[5][6][7] He also showed that progeria is a true representation of aging with respect to cellular signaling pathways, and truly recapitulates the normal aging process at the cellular level.[8][9] He currently researches the molecular etiology of aging at the level of signaling pathways.[10]

Publications

Csoka has authored and co-authored over 40 scientific papers.[11][12]

Life extension activities

Csoka is a proponent of life extension, cryonics, and transhumanism,[13] and has been identified as one of the top twenty-three socially connected professors on Twitter.[14] He is a scientific advisor to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation,[15] the UK Cryonics and Cryopreservation Research Network,[16] and the Lifeboat Foundation,[17] a fellow of the Global Healthspan Policy Institute,[18] and was featured in the first Immortality Institute film, Exploring Life Extension (2005) produced by Bruce Klein.
