Introduction to the biology and landscape of Geroscience

A comprehensive primer by Martin Borch Jensen, for people new to the field of aging biology. Covers both the main biological mechanisms, the biotech landscape, and bottlenecks for the field.

Age-related disease overview

An overview of age-related diseases incl. data on incidence, etiology, clinical trials, animal models, and more. Since neither ‘aging’ nor lifespan are currently viable clinical endpoints, new longevity biotechnology companies face a difficult choice of picking the disease(s) best suited to test the efficacy of their drug candidates. We tried to do a lot of the research they'd need, to avoid duplication of efforts in the field.

Longevity Apprenticeship ‘Aging Curriculum’ Journal Club

The journal club goes through landmark discoveries and topics in aging biology, with a focus on primary research papers. It’s intended for people who have gained familiarity with topics within aging biology and want to refine their understanding of what’s possible and what’s next. Content includes link to papers, slides from presenter, and notes from the discussion. Going through these topics chronologically you see how young the field is (a couple of decades), and how even major conference topics often arose from a single bold experiment. We read between the lines to evaluate strong claims, deduce limitations, and discuss implications.
