William H. Andrews, PhD
Dr. Andrews leads the scientific research and development function of Sierra Sciences. His team is now pursuing direct molecular approaches to temporarily activate telomerase expression, and is performing highâ€throughput screening and drug discovery efforts.
While Director of Molecular Biology at Geron Corporation, he was one of the principal discoverers of the telomerase genes. He was awarded 2nd place as “National Inventor of the Year” in 1997 for this work, with his name appearing on numerous related patents and publications. He earned his Ph.D. in Molecular and Population Genetics at the University of Georgia. He has more than 25 refereed publications and abstracts.
At the upcoming Anti-Aging Conference: Clinical Applications for In-Office Procedures in San Jose, California (September 9-12, 2009), Dr. Andrews will present, Telomerase Activation: The Future of Antiâ€Aging Medicine, on Friday, September 11th. This lecture will discuss telomere biology and the scientific basis of aging. It will provide evidence that aging can be reversed and not merely treated.
