Establishing robust serum biomarkers as potential quantitative tools for monitoring healthy ageing: An integrated identification, validation, and predictive modelling approach Ongoing

Ageing is a natural biological process, but individuals experience ageing at different rates. While some maintain good health and functional ability well into later life, others develop age-related diseases earlier. Currently, there are limited objective tools available to determine healthy ageing in individuals. Understanding the biological factors that contribute to healthy ageing and developing geroprotective strategies is an important global research priority. At PES University Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, the Integrative Medical Research department is conducting a research project aimed at finding reliable blood-based biomarkers that can be used to objectively identify healthy ageing, monitor ageing status in older individuals and assess the effectiveness of intervention designed to- promote healthy ageing.
