We’re glad you found us online! At the Clock Foundation, we’re contacted almost every day by researchers, physicians, and remarkable individuals from around the world who are testing interventions on their own, or within small research groups. We’ve been busy at work building tools to enable you to conduct more rigorous and efficient aging research and trials.
Here are a few ways you can quickly get involved, and you don’t have to limit yourself to just one:
For Individuals to Obtain Aging Biomarker Testing & Enroll in Longevity Groups
Individuals can obtain rigorous aging biomarker and also wearables testing in U.S., U.K., and Europe through our site MyAgingTests.com. This now includes the Horvath GrimAge epigenetic clock, the PhenoAge measure based on several routine clinical lab tests, and monitoring of many wearables-based aging biomarkers such as HRV. With each GrimAge test we also can now provide a comprehensive epigenetic biomarker summary reports, including a new GrimAge Systems Aging report. For everyone with 2 more tests, you will obtain Longitudinal Tracking Reports to very quickly and routinely determine if any treatments or lifestyle changes are having an effect or not. We also now are enabling enrollment into longevity groups, where you can join others to rapidly determine whether or not a specific treatment is working.
For Physicians and Clinical Research Group Leaders
Physicians and research leaders can now manage group testing of aging biomarkers, where you can coordinate testing for your practice or your research group, and test the effects of new interventions. These clinical offerings enable physicians and researchers to routinely obtain testing and monitor groups of individuals you are are working with. We also have premium options available upon request that enable physicians and researchers to more easily conduct their own clinical trials, and to provide custom offerings for DTC testing.
🧬For Researchers Submitting Samples for DNA Methylation & Epigenetic Clock Testing
We now have a new process and online portal to enable submission of DNA or tissue samples. This will enable you to obtain testing of epigenetic clocks using DNA methylation platforms we make available, including the Horvath Mammalian Array for preclinical studies (Mammal320K for mouse studies, and Mammal40K for all others), EPIC methylation arrays for human studies, and also lower-cost human methylation arrays as they become available. Each project coordinated by the Clock Foundation includes generation of epigenetic clock results, QC review, and statistical analysis of key study outcomes.
