Anti-Aging Drug Discovery on the Basis of Hallmarks of Aging is a comprehensive and timely book on all aspects of anti-aging strategies. The book provides comprehensive, foundational knowledge on the mechanisms of aging and current anti-aging strategies and approaches developed. Aging research has experienced an unprecedented advance over recent years with the discovery that the rate of aging is determined, at least to some extent, mainly by our genetics and modulated by environmental factors. The hallmarks of aging describe the molecular and cellular processes that govern biological aging and their variation in individuals.

D. degree in the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from National Taiwan University Medical College in 2007. Lin completed his postdoctoral research on the dementia & Alzheimer’s disease in National Taiwan University Hospital, and then moved to Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University (Taiwan) in 2008 and has been promoted to Full Professor in 2019. His major interests are to understand the pathophysiological connections between brain aging and Alzheimer’s dementia, particularly studying molecular mechanisms of amyloid beta (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity, and applications of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology. He is currently working to demonstrate that brain insulin resistance may play roles in neuronal aging features and contribute to pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and type 2 diabetes-associated dementia.
