Professional profile

Dr Csaba Kerepesi is a Research Fellow at the HUN-REN Institute for Computer Science and Control (HUN-REN SZTAKI) in Budapest, where he leads the BioAgeAI research group. His work focuses on applying mathematics and informatics to combat diseases and ageing.

His current research explores epigenetic clocks, a promising artificial intelligence tool for measuring the ageing process. These clocks can accurately estimate an individual's biological age based on epigenetic data extracted from blood and saliva samples. His research group investigates the mechanisms of ageing and the development of ageing clocks that offer more precise biological age determination. The tools they develop may be used to evaluate potential rejuvenation therapies or interventions aimed at slowing the ageing process. In addition, they could become valuable tools in personalised medicine, considering biological age alongside other patient-specific factors.

Dr Kerepesi has received several awards, including the Young Researchers' Scientific Award (ELTE, 2016) and the Gyula Farkas Memorial Award (Bolyai Mathematical Society, 2017).
