He created the public databases GenAge, DrugAge, and CellAge, foundational resources for geroscience data mining. His studies on naked‑mole‑rat cancer resistance and bowhead‑whale genome stability reveal natural templates for extreme longevity. An active public educator, he runs the ‘Why Is Life So Long?’ YouTube series and advises governments on aging‑research roadmaps.
