Global Leaders in Geroscience Convene for Biomarkers of Aging
Key Takeaways
  • Validated, standardized biomarkers of biological aging are essential to test therapies targeting aging in clinical trials.
  • Epigenetic clocks, pace-of-aging measures, multi-omic and AI-based approaches are central tools being advanced and compared.
  • Bringing scientists, funders, and regulators together aims to define validation standards and enable biomarkers as approved trial endpoints.
