Suresh Rattan (full name: ''Suresh Inder Singh Rattan''; born in 1955 in Amritsar, India) is a biogerontologist – a researcher in the field of biology of ageing, biogerontology. In addition to his professional research work on the biology of ageing, he is also very much interested and involved in the public communication of science and he likes to undertake explorations in the Indian classical music and semi-classical music by playing Tabla – the North Indian drums, as evident in a music CD (released in September 2008) "State of the Art: Small Town People" by Harry Jokumsen and other artists, in which he plays Tabla under his artistic name Shashi Maharaj. ==Academic background== Suresh Rattan heads the Laboratory of Cellular Ageing of the Department of Molecular Biology〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = ( Department of Molecular Biology) )〕 at the Aarhus University in Denmark. He was introduced to the field of ageing by Professor Suraj P. Sharma at the Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU), Amritsar, India, during his BSc and MSc studies (1973–1977), followed by MPhil studies on the regenerative capacity of Hydra, under the guidance of Professor Sivatosh Mookerjee, at the School of Life Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, India (1977–1979). Suresh Rattan earned his PhD in 1982 from the National Institute for Medical Research, Mill Hill, London, UK, based on his research project testing the error theory of cellular ageing, under the supervision of Dr.Robin HollidayFRS, and Dr. Ian Buchanan. He also earned the degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) in 1995, from the Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Aarhus, Denmark, based on his post-PhD research work on the molecular biology of human cellular ageing. He is also the recipient of an (Honorary Doctorate ) from the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences for his "...fruitful research and training in the field of biology of ageing, as well as his outstanding contribution to dissemination of scientific knowledge in basic gerontology...". He has been awarded a Visiting Professorship at the Faculty of Science, (Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic ) (2012–2016). The British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA) has awarded their prestigious Lord Cohen Medal to Suresh Rattan for his continuing contributions to gerontology.〔British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA)〕 He was unanimously elected as the President/Chair of the Biological Section of the European Region of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG-ER)(www.iagg-er.net ) for the period 2011–2015; and again for the period 2015 to 2019.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR SURESH RATTAN )〕 Suresh Rattan has published over 230 research and review articles and 14 books on the biology of ageing, including those for school children and general public. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of ''Biogerontology'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Springer Publishing )〕 a leading peer review journal in the field of ageing. His name has been included in Marquis Who's Who in the World (from 1993);〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.marquiswhoswho.com/products/WOprodinfo.asp )〕 Marquis Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare (from 1998); and International Directory of Distinguished Leadership (from 1998). He was a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Gerontology (2008–2009). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suresh Rattan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
