Ana Aslan (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈana asˈlan]; 1 January 1897 – 20 May 1988) was a Romanian biologist and physician who discovered the anti-aging effects of procaine, based on the drugs Gerovital H3 and Aslavital, which she developed. She is considered to be a pioneer of gerontology and geriatrics in Romania. In 1952, she founded the Geriatric Institute of Bucharest. This institute was the first of its kind in the world[1] and was recognized by the World Health Organization. Although her work was controversial, it received international attention.  |

John, I am glad that in spite of your travels you took the time and looked it up. Yes, it was Ana Aslan. She decided to follow medical field after her dad died when she was a teenager and she was very good in what she was doing!
