Steve Horvath
Steve Horvath is a prominent scientist known for developing the epigenetic clock, a groundbreaking tool in the field of aging research. His work fundamentally changed how researchers understand biological aging by providing a method to estimate the biological age of cells based on epigenetic changes. Horvath’s personal journey into aging research began in his youth when he made a pact with his twin brother and a friend to explore life extension. After initially stepping away from the field, he returned to it during his academic career, leading to significant discoveries that have made the epigenetic clock an essential component in the study of aging. Recently, he gained attention for a self-experiment that revealed his cells were biologically older than those of his twin, highlighting the complexities of aging.
