About us
Imagine you could live to be 120 years in good health?
The 20th century brought unprecedented prosperity and well-being for many. Average life expectancy saw a dramatic increase doubling globally from 32 to 66 years, settling somewhere around 80 to 90 years in developed nations. Indeed, life expectancies in developed nations are so high now that the rate of aging has become the limiting factor for human health- and lifespan.
Most diseases of the elderly are directly caused by aging and due to “competing age-related risks” for these various diseases the eradication of any one disease would only have surprisingly small benefits. Put in the simplest way, if cancer does not kill you so will cardiovascular disease (Olshansky et al. 2016; Keyfitz 1977). This necessitates a totally new approach to health and longevity provided by modern aging research. We aim to prevent, cure or slow age-related diseases and aging in order to allow everyone to live their life to the fullest extent possible.

Novel Biological Aging Clocks
Tsquared, 160 Robinson Rd, Singapore, SGNovel Biological Aging Clocks
Prof. Jan Gruber from NUS will introduce aging clocks - research tools that estimate biological age rather than just calendar age. These clocks are built from measurable biological signals, such as patterns in DNA methylation, blood biomarkers, and metabolic data, that change in predictable ways over time. In this talk, he will explain how aging clocks are developed, what they can and cannot tell us about health and lifespan, and how scientists use them to study disease risk, lifestyle effects, and interventions that may influence the rate of aging. This talk is designed for everyone who wants to take their health into their own hands, making informed decisions.
