Steven Horvath - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Steven Horvath is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Department of Human Genetics at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His work primarily revolves around the field of genetics, with a special focus on epigenetics and aging. His research contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying aging and age-related diseases.

Research Contributions

Steven Horvath has made substantial contributions to the field of genetics, particularly in the study of DNA methylation and epigenetic clocks. His recent papers cover a wide array of topics, including differential methylation in small mammals, epigenetic clocks in marsupials, methylation profiling in mammals, and the role of DNA methylation in conditions like Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome. His research also delves into the impact of HIV on epigenetic age acceleration, genetic loci associated with epigenetic aging in mice, and the causal role of epigenetic clocks in cancer development. Furthermore, he has explored the association between plasma lipid profiles and epigenetic aging, as well as the effects of rapamycin treatment on lifespan and healthspan.
