He is one of the co-creators of the Longevity Industry Framework behind many of the company’s Longevity Industry analytics, benchmarking and forecasting.

He is also one of five co-authors behind the proposal that led to the World Health Organization's addition of a new extension code for aging-related (XT9T) during ICD-11, and the author of over a dozen scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals such as:

- Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group), - Experimental Gerontology, Aging, - The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences (Oxford Academic), - Sleep (Oxford Academic), - Human , - Frontiers in Genetics, - Research, - Oncotarget, - Translational Neurodegeneration. Dr. Milan Mušo (President, Cambridge University Longevity Society)

Milan is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate of human metabolic diseases and , at the Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge.

Milan has recently authored a review of the current literature surrounding the role that RNA plays in the ageing process, appropriately titled ‘RNA and ageing”. In today’s episode we discuss the function of RNA, emerging technologies that utilise the RNA to provide valuable medical information, and its links to the ageing process. Dr. Alexander Mörseburg (Treasurer, Cambridge University Longevity Society)
