This has included basic research leading to the discovery of the genetic defect causing the Werner syndrome (\"Progeria of the Adult\") and certain familial forms of Alzheimer's disease. His laboratory was also the first to demonstrate the rising frequencies, with age, of somatic mutations in human epithelial cells. At a more clinical level, Dr. Martin has systematized our knowledge of human genetic disorders from the point of view of their rich potential to elucidate specific.shtmlects of the senescent phenotype and used this analysis to make inferences concerning the polygenic basis of aging.<\/p><p>More recent research has utilized genetic engineering in mice to elucidate mechanisms of aging and Alzheimer's disease. His honors have included election to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and a Lifetime Achievement Award of the World Alzheimer Congress.
