Ana Aslan (1897 to 1988), born Anna Aslanyan, was a Romanian biologist and physician of partial Armenian descent, born in Brăila and died in Bucharest. She entered the Faculty of Medicine in 1915 and finished in 1922, despite the field being undesirable for women at the time, nursing soldiers during the First World War while she studied. She became a specialist in gerontology, a member of the Romanian Academy from 1974, and director of the National Institute of Geriatrics and Gerontology from 1958 to 1988. She is known for her invention of the drug Gerovital (H3) and received international recognition for her research in gerontology. The effects claimed for such anti-ageing treatments were disputed, so this entry records what she held and what was disputed; it is not medical advice.
