Honors and awards

Partial list, current as of 2023:

Research

Antell demonstrated that lifestyle is a greater determining factor than genetics in aging. A two-year study with identical twins showed that smoking and sun exposure predominantly influence one twin and not the other. It also suggested that alcohol, stress, diet and exercise, among other factors, could be an influence, and such lifestyle choices may alter the expression of certain genes and gene-environment interaction.
