Leonid Leon Peshkin (born 1970) is a scientist working at the Systems Biology Department at Harvard Medical School.
He ultimately followed his PhD advisor Leslie Kaelbling to the MIT AI lab where he worked on his dissertation “Reinforcement Learning via Policy Search”.
[5][6][7] Leon's research on applications of Artificial Intelligence to biology of aging has been highlighted in an interview with the Life Extension Advocacy Foundation.
[8] Efforts to develop an open source platform for testing life- and health-span interventions in Daphnia are discussed in an interview with the Longevity Technology portal.
[12] In 2022, it was reported that the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium had created a complete human genome with almost no gaps, using a haploid cell line and Peshkin's Y chromosome.
