About
Pimm - Partial immortalization is a weblog about stem cells and mitochondria, regenerative medicine, biotechnology, indefinite life extension, science hacks and bioDIY. (It started as a bookblog: I planned to publish some parts of it concerning indefinite life extension technologies and regmed, although I know how old school the book idea is.) Please participate and comment because the true value and quality of the adventure needs your contribution, which I would really appreciate.

I am Attila Chordash (say tshor-dash) = Attila Csordás (Hungarian), born and raised in Budapest, a trained molecular biologist and biotechnologist, and my topic is mitochondrial (and) stem cell biology, regenerative medicine. I got a master’s degree in philosophy too and had an experience as a technology and science journalist for general audience. Check some incoming links for References.
Research Techniques/Computer Techniques referred to as Skills.
I am currently living in New Orleans, Louisiana, working at the Tulane University as a research scientist.
For first readers: The aim of regenerative medicine is to regenerate all tissues and organs of the human body with the help of stem cells’ regenerative potential. Theoretically if all tissues and organs of an adult body were regenerated once, then it could be regenerated two and eventually n times. This technological possibility is called partial immortalization.

Nice, I trolled from the GB forum to over here ..added blog to my reader
I think stem cell research is both good and bad. Well, thats just opinion.

You are an example of what I’d like to be in the next decade, informed and connected. I know all the orgs now, just need to get the knowledge and credits

Been reading the blog for quite some time now and am amazed at all the quality stuff you come up with on a regular basis. Great stuff.
I didn’t know you are Hungarian. My girlfriend’s grandparents are from Hungary… Might go visit some day. So save up for drinks

Fantastic to see a real scientific professional moving to the Crescent City. (BEat the brain drain!). It is also quite nice to see people working directly on this issue rather than simply throwing up their hands and wailing about the futility of anti-aging research.
I lok forward to your arrival in our fair, if delapidated, city!

[...] If someone has mentors, he obviously cannot be a pioneer and I do have mentors like Ves Dimov, Attila Csordas, Scott Shreeve and Bob [...]
