Education and career edit

Antell received his B.S. in biology at Hobart College,[4] a D.M.D at Case Western Reserve University Dental School, and M.D. at the University of Toledo.[5][6]

He received his general surgery training at Stanford University Medical Center and received his specialized training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.[7] Served as assistant clinical professor of surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (1989-2014).[8] Antell is an early (1999) advocate for advanced techniques in augmented breast reconstruction of breast cancer patients that underwent mastectomies.[9]

In 2014, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History invited Dr. Antell to join the exhibition "Genome: Unlocking Life's Code."[10][11] Dr. Antell's work was displayed alongside that of James Watson and Francis Crick.[12][13]

Philanthropy edit

Antell has been a clinical faculty member and guest lecturer at American University of Antigua since 2010.[14] He has been the assistant clinical professor of surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai since 2014.[15]

He is a founding member of The Society of New York Office Based Surgery Facilities, a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) corporation increasing patients' access to accredited office-based surgery facilities.[16][17] In 1997, he established the Dr. Darrick E. Antell '73 Scholarship at Hobart and William Smith Colleges[18] and at the University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences established the Darrick Antell, M.D. Medical Student Family Fund Scholarship provided annually to a student with parental responsibilities.[19]

In 2014, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History invited Dr. Antell to join the exhibition "Genome: Unlocking Life's Code."[10][11] Dr. Antell's work was displayed alongside that of James Watson and Francis Crick.[12][13]

Research edit

Antell demonstrated that lifestyle is a greater determining factor than genetics in aging. A two-year study with identical twins showed that smoking and sun exposure[11] predominantly influence one twin and not the other. It also suggested that alcohol, stress, diet and exercise, among other factors, could be an influence, and such lifestyle choices may alter the expression of certain genes and gene-environment interaction.
