Professor of Genetics at the Blavatnik Institute, Harvard Medical School, President of the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research (AHLR), and Co-Chief Editor of the journal “Aging”. Dr. Sinclair did his Ph.D. studying genetics in yeast, identifying the first intragenic promoter elements in eukaryotes, for which he was awarded the the CSL and The Commonwealth Prizes. A Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship allowed him to leave Australia to work with Lenny Guarente at M.I.T. from 2005-2009, where he co-discovered a cause of aging in yeast, a first in any organism, and deciphered the role of sirtuin genes in the aging process. At 2009, he was recruited to Harvard Medical School and shortly thereafter became Founding Director of the Paul F. Glenn Laboratories for Aging Research, a group that includes four labs at Harvard and a consortium of 11 universities. He has published 200+ papers, is an inventor on over 60 patents, and has been cited 85,000+ times with an h-index impact score of 111. He is a board member of the American Federation for Aging Research, a Founding Editor of the journal Aging, and has received 38 awards. In 2014, Professor Sinclair was recognized as one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People In The World and in 2018 as Top 50 in Healthcare, and he is the co-author of the New York Times and international bestseller “Lifespan”.
