Education

Csoka earned a bachelor's degrees at Newcastle University in Genetics. He has a master's in Molecular Pathology from University of Leicester and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology from University of Debrecen.^[4]

Research career

He was a member of the consortium that identified the Lamin A gene as the cause of the accelerated aging disease Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome and participated in the first National Institutes of Health – Progeria Research Foundation workshop.^[5][6][7] He also showed that progeria is a true representation of aging with respect to cellular signaling pathways, and truly recapitulates the normal aging process at the cellular level.^[8][9] He currently researches the molecular etiology of aging at the level of signaling pathways.^[10]

Publications

Csoka has authored and co-authored over 40 scientific papers.^[11][12]

Life extension activities

Csoka is a proponent of life extension, cryonics, and transhumanism,^[13] and has been identified as one of the top twenty-three socially connected professors on Twitter.^[14] He is a scientific advisor to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation,^[15] the UK Cryonics and Cryopreservation Research Network,^[16] and the Lifeboat Foundation,^[17] a fellow of the Global Healthspan Policy Institute,^[18] and was featured in the first Immortality Institute film, Exploring Life Extension (2005) produced by Bruce Klein.^[19]
