243:. Dr. Antonei Csoka is a key discoverer of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, which could prove to have a major impact on the rate of aging in humans. Dr. Csoka is also an active supporter and speaker within the life extension community and was featured in the 2005 scientific documentary,

in the identification of the gene and probably all that means in practice is that his lab did some of the work. Given that this sort of science takes place in large teams then a lot of people get small amounts of credit. P.S. User's first edit.

I see 18 papers, not 8, and he is first or senior author on 8 of those papers. Also, listing of authors goes from both ends, so if someone is near the back of a list of authors, it usually means they played a more senior role in designing the

That's a documentary from a commercial organisation. Appearing on promotional material for the life extension community adds little to his notability IMHO. Out of curiosity, are you the Bruce Klein that interviewed him for that film
