Wellness and Aging Showcase: BioAge Labs
BIOAGE uses AI and data science with proprietary human aging data to accelerate internal drug discovery for aging and age-related disease.
Data-Driven Discovery And Targeting Of Aging Factors
Omics data enables us to study aging directly in humans, rather than less translationally-relevant model systems. Focusing on omic phenotyping of human aging cohorts that have decades of follow-up EHRs. Integrating multiple data modalities for data-driven discovery of key aging targets.
