Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, (born in Riga, Latvia August 17, 1979) is the director and a trustee of the Biogerontology Research Foundation, a UK-based think tank that supports worldwide aging research. He is also the head of the laboratory of regenerative medicine at the Clinical Research Center for Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology [in Russia?], and the head of research at Neuroinformatics, a neuroinformatics company which develops algorithms for cost-effective EEG devices.[1][2]
His research interests include Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome, new methods of cellular reprogramming, molecular mechanisms of skin and cartilage regeneration and personalized medicine in oncology. Zhavoronkov book The Ageless Generation: How Advances in Biomedicine Will Transform the Global Economy (2013)[3] will be published in June 2013.
Education
Zhavoronkov holds two bachelor degrees from Queen’s University. He has a masters in biotechnology from Johns Hopkins Universtity, and a PhD in physics and mathematics from Moscow State University.[4]
Career
Organizations Founded
Zhavoronkov is the founder of the International Aging Research Portfolio, a curated knowledge management system for aging research.[5]
He and scientists from Canada, Russia and the US co-founded the First Oncology Research and Advisory Center. This is a personalized medicine organization which provides contract research services to oncologists who are interested in gene expression, activated signalling pathway analysis and predicted effectiveness of targeted drugs,which enables the improvement of clinical decision making.
