- Nir_Barzilai abstract "Dr. Nir Barzilai is the founding director of the Institute for Aging Research, the Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging and the Glenn Center for Biology of Human Aging at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University (Einstein). He also directs the Longevity Genes Project, a genetics study of over 600 families of centenarians and their children. The participants are all Ashkenazi Jews, a group selected for their genetic heterogeneity, which makes it easier to identify significant genetic variations.Dr. Barzilai discovered several “longevity genes” in humans that were validated by others. These include variants in genes involved in cholesterol metabolism (CETP and APOC3 ), metabolism (ADIPOQ and TSHR) and growth (IGF1R).Treatments for age-related diseases, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, are being developed based on Dr. Barzilai’s work and are currently in clinical trials. The diabetes research is led by CohBar Inc., a biotech company that Dr. Barzilai helped co-found. In addition to his “longevity gene” research, Dr. Barzilai studies key mechanisms involved in the biology of aging, including how nutrients and genetics influence lifespan. He is also investigating how mental decline and personality affect longevity.At Einstein, Dr. Barzilai is also professor of medicine (endocrinology) and of genetics, and holds the Ira and Ingeborg Rennert Chair for Aging Research.He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, reviews and chapters in textbooks. Dr. Barzilai has been profiled by major outlets, including New York magazine, The New York Times and PBS’ “NOVA ScienceNow."Dr. Barzilai was born in Israel and received his M.D. from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. He was chief medic in the Israeli army from 1977 to 1985. He first came to the U.S. in 1987 as a resident at Yale University. He joined Einstein in 1993 as instructor of medicine (endocrinology). He currently lives in Westchester, NY with his wife. They have two children.".
