Arlan Richardson

Arlan Richardson is the Professor of Geriatric Medicine and the Donald W. Reynolds Endowed Chair of Aging Research at OUHSC and Senior VA Career Scientist at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center. His research interests include Calorie Restriction and Aging, Oxidative Stress, and Molecular Biology of Aging. He is the director of the Oklahoma Nathan Shock Center on Aging. He is listed in Who's Who in Gerontology and is the founder of the Barshop Institute. In 2016, Richardson told CNN that Rapamycin is the best drug he'd ever seen in slowing aging.
