From Aubrey:
Irina Conboy, researcher at UC Berkeley, is apparently one of the founders of this new biological clock company… mostly inspired by the recent paper (PMID 37702598) introducing a “noise baromerer” measuring what I’m calling “loss of epigenostasis”.

The Company’s Science: https://www.generationlab.co/blog
Irina and Mike Conboy were working on a therapeutics company (I believe) a few years ago… something that may have competed with Katcher’s company. But that seems to have been stillborn.
I’m surprised they are coming out with a clock company. At the Longevity Summit last week Steve Horvath had this to say about biological clocks / epigenetic clocks:
Conboys in the news…
Today, Generation Lab, a biomedical research company cofounded by Conboy, is getting in on the aging game by launching its test. With a wait-list of over 1,000 people, Generation Lab’s new at-home molecular aging test requires a cheek swab to analyze an individual’s risk for top health conditions and the pace of aging across 19 systems in the body.

Just got an email:
Generation Lab has raised $11 million, led by Accel, alongside Samsung Next Zone2, Steve Aoki, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Simu Liu to bring the world’s most accurate longevity diagnostic SystemAge to everyone.
For the first time, you can track how your body is truly aging over time, across 19 organ systems from your heart and brain to your immune and metabolic systems and take action to reverse it.
In less than a year, SystemAge has become the world’s fastest growing longevity diagnostic, now used by:
275+ clinics globally
Top scientists like David Sinclair & George Church
Professional athletes and physicians committed to proactive healthspan optimizationThis is the history of longevity shifting from guessing to knowing and from measuring to reversing.
