Longitudinal Phenotypic Markers of Aging and Other Multidimensional Prognostic Approaches for Age-Related Chronic Diseases
Emerging evidence has uncovered a novel global longitudinal phenotypic metric of aging that is superior to phenotypic and epigenetic measurements and can facilitate the discovery of mechanisms underlying age-related chronic diseases. This session will discuss biological aging clocks and other multidimensional prognostic approaches that can be leveraged for the development of novel therapeutic targets.
