Suresh I.S. Rattan, PhD, DSc, is an
internationally renowned biogerontologist at the Laboratory of
Cellular Ageing, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics,
Aarhus University, Denmark. He is one of the pioneers for the
testing and application of hormesis in aging research and
interventions. His research expertise includes elucidating the
molecular mechanisms of human cellular aging. Dr. Rattan is the
discoverer of the aging-modulatory effects of kinetin and zeatin,
which are now used in several skin care products. He is the
editor-in-chief of the journal Biogerontology. He has published
numerous original research papers and reviews, and is the author of
popular science books for children in several languages.
Éric Le Bourg, PhD, DSc, is an internationally renowned
biogerontologist at the French National Center for Scientific
Research (CNRS), Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France. He is
well known for his studies on the effects of mild stress in
Drosophila but is also working on learning, behavior, and
demography matters. He has published numerous papers and has
written several books on aging in French for the lay public and
academics on the biology, demographic, and social matters.
Both editors have previously collaborated and edited the book Mild
Stress and Healthy Aging (Springer 2008) and brought out two
special issues of the international peer-reviewed journals
Biogerontology (2006) and Dose Response (2010).
