In this post, we look at the rankings of the world’s leading longevity experts.  These rankings are based on research by Expertscape, a company that objectively ranks people and institutions by their expertise in more than 30,000 biomedical topics. According to their global longevity expert survey, Steven Austad is ranked at 31.

On what basis is Steven Austad ranked?

Expertscape believes that no one is an expert at anything unless they are actively investigating longevity science, are at the leading edge of knowledge, and are publishing their research in respected journals.

How are experts ranked?

Experts are ranked according to the quality and quantity of their publications. Expertscape examines all medical publications that are indexed in the National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. They rank the expertise of each author according to the number and type of articles that each expert has authored on the specific condition, disease, or treatment of interest to you.

This ranking method identifies experts who have a variety of backgrounds. For example, experts that they identify may be ranked highly because they conduct and publish clinical research into your condition, write reviews that are based on analysis of other researchers’ work on your condition, or author articles on the scientific underpinnings of your condition.

Steven Austad

As the Chair of Healthy Aging Research and a Distinguished Professor in Biology at the University of Alabama, Dr. Austad’s research heavily focuses on aging. He raises awareness that aging is the number one cause of death and disability in today’s world, more significant than most chronic diseases, as aging is the major risk for all of them. Steven Austad obtained his B.A in English Literature from UCLA, a B.S. in Biology from California State University, and a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Purdue University.
