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”.
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:
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.
