Anatoliy I. Yashin
I am a Research Professor and the co-Director of the Biodemography of Aging Research Unit at the Social Science Research Institute, Duke University. I research aging, with expertise in developing mathematical and statistical methods of analysis of genetic and non-genetic data on aging, health, and survival using data collected in various longitudinal human studies. My major research interest is in understanding mechanisms regulating rates of physiological aging changes, age-associated health decline, and longevity, with emphases on complex connections between these traits, on interacting genetic and non-genetic factors in longevity and age-associated diseases, and on polygenic effects on health and survival.
