Botchkarev<\/a>, MD, PhD, has received the Skin Ageing &amp; Challenges Best Scientific Award 2023, recognizing his exceptional contributions to scientific research for his work \u201cSkin Aging in Long-Lived Naked Mole-Rats: Mechanisms and Perspectives.\u201d Botchkarev explored the complex aging process of Naked Mole Rats\u2019 skin. His detailed study of their skin aging transcriptome sheds light on how these creatures remarkably resist age-related skin cancer, offering vital insights for human skin biology.<\/p>\n<p>Professor of dermatology and co-director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/bu-cares\/\">Center for Aging Research<\/a>, Botchkarev focuses on epigenetic factors influencing skin stem cell activity, aging, wound healing, and carcinogenesis. He has more than 100 publications in journals such as Nature, Cell Biology, Science Advances, and Cancer Research. Supported by NIH grants, his work is instrumental in understanding skin aging and using Naked Mole Rats as a model for studying human skin disease resistance.<\/p>\n<p>This award reflects Botchkarev\u2019s dedication to advancing knowledge in skin biology and aging, highlighting his significant impact in the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The professor of dermatology and co-director of the Center for Aging Research focuses on epigenetic factors influencing skin stem cell activity, aging, wound healing, and carcinogenesis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":903,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[89,91,90],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118639"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/903"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118639"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118639\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":118641,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118639\/revisions\/118641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
