John Michael Sedivy is the Hermon C. Bumpus Professor of Biology and a professor of Medical Science at Brown University.
He is listed as a F1000 Prime faculty member and on Who's Who in Gerontology.
[2] In 2006, he published the first comprehensive in vivo quantification of cellular senescence in aging primates.
That year, his lab also discovered how (through the Polycomb pathway) c-Myc contributes to the regulation of chromatin states.
His research has found that mice missing one copy of the Myc transcription factor live longer than wild-type mice.
