Alexander Maslov

Alexander Maslov is a Research Professor in the Department of Genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His work focuses on understanding genomic instability, aging mechanisms, DNA damage responses, and cancer biology. He has pioneered techniques in high-throughput sequencing for mutation detection and mitochondrial DNA analysis.

• Education: M.D. and Ph.D. (specific institutions not detailed in text)

Research interests include the interplay between DNA repair pathways, somatic mutations in aging, and the application of next-generation sequencing to study genetic disorders. His lab has developed methods for controlled induction of DNA breaks in animal models to study tissue aging.

Publications emphasize genomic instability in aging, mitochondrial DNA isolation protocols, and the role of epigenetic modifiers like DNMT1. Collaborations with investigators like Jan Vijg highlight his contributions to understanding genetic mechanisms of aging and cancer.
