(\u201cTuck\u201d) Finch is Professor and Chair in the Neurobiology\u00a0 of Aging at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He is one of the , perhaps \u201cThe\u201d , most highly recognized and influential scientist in the world\u00a0 in the field of the biology of aging. But his research has a very broad scope. Major themes in his work are the evolution and background factors of human life expectancy as well as underlying factors of Alzheimer`s disease. He is interested in the role of social factors and social class in health and aging, and he is a pioneer in introducing social factors into biological research, and biological factors in social and demographic research (e.g. in Cells and Surveys. Eds. CE Finch, JW Vaupel and K Kinsella,\u00a0 2001).\r\n\r\nIn addition to hundreds of articles in the leading scientific journals, he has authored several books, among which\u00a0 \u201dLongevity, Senescence and the Genome\u201d (1990,\u00a0 ca one thousand pages)\u00a0 is a real magnum opus of aging research, and \u201cThe Biology of Human Longevity\u201d ( 2007, ca 600 pages) are two continues this line.\r\n\r\nFinch is a central figure in two exceptional studies on cultural and environmental factors of age-related diseases. An international research group has for several years examined signs of cardio-vascular diseases in thousands-year- old mummies across four continents. In another study, scientists focus on health and aging of the Tsimane people who live isolated in Amazonian rain forests in Bolivia.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn recent year, a major theme in Finch\u00b4s research is the role of environmental change, particularly air pollution, in aging, health and Alzheimer\u00b4s disease. This is the focus of his latest book\u00a0 \u201cThe Role of Global Air Pollution in Aging and Disease.
