Ana was the youngest of four children, two brothers and two sisters, born to Mkrtitch and Sofia Aslanyans.

After graduating from the Faculty of Medicine in 1922, she began working with Daniel Danielopolu who supervised her doctoral thesis.

It was this discovery that led to a three-year study and eventual invention of her drug called Gerovital (H3), which she prescribed for the effects of aging.

With hesitation from fellow scientists that Gerovital was a "fountain of youth", Aslan kicked off a research study to prove the results.

[citation needed] Ana Aslan received many distinctions for her research activity, for example: Ana Aslan patented two cosmetic products (hair lotion and cream Gerovital H3), entrusting their production to Farmec company and Miraj.
