Her clinical focus is on the treatment of types 1 and type 2 diabetes as well as related metabolic disorders.</p><p>In 1975, Dr. Crandall received her Bachelor of Arts in anthropology at State University of New York at Binghamton. She received her Bachelor of Science in health services (physician assistant program) in 1977 at State University of New York at Stony Brook, earning highest school honors. In 1988, she earned her Doctor of Medicine at State University of New York Health Sciences Center at Brooklyn, and began her postgraduate training the same year with an internship and residency at Presbyterian Hospital, completing it in 1991. She continued her post-graduate training at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, completing her fellowship in endocrinology in 1994.</p><p>Dr. Crandall&rsquo;s research interests focus on age-related changes in glucose metabolism and the relationship between hyperglycemia and cardiovascular risk. As the director of the Diabetes Clinical Trials Unit (DCTU), Dr. Crandall serves as the principal investigator for several NIH-sponsored clinical trials in the field of diabetes and metabolism. Most notable is her work with the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcome Study, for which she holds several national leadership positions, including Executive Committee membership and Co-Chair of a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute to study the effect of long-term metformin treatment or lifestyle modification on cancer incidence. Her specific interests include the prevention of type 2 diabetes, the treatment of diabetes in older adults and the prevention of diabetes complications. Dr. Crandall is also director of the Translational Research Core of the <a href="https://einsteinmed.edu/centers/diabetes-research">Einstein-Mount Sinai Diabetes Research Center (ESDRC)</a>. She serves on the editorial board for the <em>Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications</em> and reviews submissions to several publications, including <em>Diabetes Care, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism</em>, and the <em>Annals of Internal Medicine</em>. She is active in the American Diabetes Association and has served on the Professional Practice and Grant Review committees.</p><p>Dr. Crandall has received many recognitions throughout her career, including the Glenn Award for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging from the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research, and the William Dock, MD Master Teacher Award in Medicine from SUNY Downstate Medical Center.</p>

<p>Dr. Nir Barzilai is the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research and of the National Institutes of Health&rsquo;s (NIH) Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging. He is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research, professor in the Departments of Medicine and Genetics, and member of the Diabetes Research Center and of the Divisions of Endocrinology &amp; Diabetes and Geriatrics.</p>
<p>Dr. Barzilai&rsquo;s research interests are in the biology and genetics of aging. One focuses on the genetic of exceptional longevity, where we hypothesize and demonstrated that centenarians have protective genes, which allows the delay of aging or for the protection against age-related diseases. In a Program he is leading we take full advantage of phenotypes, DNA, and cells from the Ashkenazi Jewish families with exceptional longevity and the appropriate controls and his group have established at Einstein (over 2600 samples of which ~670 are centenarians) and discovered underling genomic differences associated with longevity. Longevity Genes Project (LGP) is a cross-sectional, on-going collection of blood and phenotype from families with centenarian proband. LonGenity is a longitudinal study of 1400 subjects, half offspring of parents with exceptional longevity, validating and following their aging in relationship to their genome. The second direction, for which Dr. Barzilai is holding an NIH Merit award that focuses on the metabolic decline of aging, and his team hypothesize that the brain leads this decline. His lab has identified several central pathways that specifically alter body fat distribution and insulin action and secretion by intraventricular or hypothalamic administration of several peptides that are modulated by aging including: Leptin, IGF-1, IGFBP3 and resveratrol.</p>
<p>He has received numerous grants, among them ones from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), American Federation for Aging Research, the Ellison Medical Foundation and The Glenn Medical foundation. He has published over 280 peer-reviewed papers, reviews, and textbook chapters. He is an advisor to the NIH on several projects and serves on several editorial boards and is a reviewer for numerous other journals. Dr. Barzilai is in the Scientific Director and on the board of the American Federation for Aging Research, is its co-scientific director, and has served on several NIA study section. He is also a founder of CohBar Inc., a biotech that develops mitochondrial derived peptides as therapy for aging and its diseases and of Lifebioscince biotech. Dr. Barzilai has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Beeson Fellow for Aging Research, the Ellison Medical Foundation Senior Scholar in Aging Award, the Paul F. Glenn Foundation Award, the NIA Nathan Shock Award, the 2010 Irving S. Wright Award of Distinction in Aging Research and the IPSEN&nbsp;Longevity Prize (2016).</p>
<p>He is currently leading an international effort to approve drugs that can target aging. Targeting Aging with METformin (TAME) is a specific study designed to prove the concept that multi-morbidities of aging can be delayed by metformin, working with the FDA to approve this approach which will serve as a template for future efforts to delay aging and its diseases in humans.</p>
<p>Born in Israel, Dr. Barzilai served as chief medic and physician in the Israel Defense Forces. He graduated from The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and completed his residency in internal medicine at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. He served in a refugee camp during the war in Cambodia (1979-1980) and built a nutritional village in the homeland of the Zulu (1983 &ndash; Kwazulu). He has completed 2 fellowships at Yale (metabolism) and Corenell (Endocrinoology and molecular Medicine). He was an invited speaker to the 4th Israeli President Conference (2012) and a Vatican conference on efforts to enhance cures (2013, 2016). He has also taken part in Global initiatives and spoke at The Milken Global Institute, Asian Megatrends and is an advisor for the Prime Minister of Singapore on Aging. Dr. Barzilai has been on the &lsquo;Forward 50, top 50 influence Jews in the US (2011). His work has been profiled by major outlets, including the New York Times, the BBC and PBS' NOVA science now, TEDMED and several TEDx talk is the leading feature on the Ron Howard/Jonathan Silberberg/National Geographic film about the Age of Aging. He authored Age Later (2019)</p>

Expert Summary

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;">Dr. Barzilai discovered the first &ldquo;longevity gene&rdquo; in humans. His research established that the gene variant that leads to high HDL, or &ldquo;good cholesterol,&rdquo; is linked to healthy aging and extreme longevity. Dr. Barzilai has been profiled by major outlets, including<span>&nbsp;</span><em>The</em><span>&nbsp;</span><em>New York Times,&nbsp;</em>PBS&rsquo; &ldquo;NOVA scienceNow&rdquo; and National Geographic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;">Treatments for age-related diseases like type 2 diabetes are being developed based on Dr. Barzilai&rsquo;s work and are currently in clinical trials. In addition to his &ldquo;longevity gene&rdquo; research, Dr. Barzilai studies key mechanisms involved in the biology of aging, including how nutrients and genetics influence lifespan. He is also investigating the physical and mental declines associated with aging and how they affect longevity. Dr. Barzilai is professor of medicine (endocrinology) and of genetics, a member of the Diabetes Research Center and director of the Diabetes Research and Training Center&rsquo;s Animal Physiology core.</span></p>
