Understanding why we age, and what can be changed
Discovery generates the knowledge the whole mission depends on: the biology of ageing, the mechanisms of decline and the targets worth pursuing.
What this stage covers
Biology of ageing
Cellular ageing, senescence, mitochondrial and metabolic decline, and the pathways that govern them.
Target identification
Turning mechanistic insight into credible, modifiable targets for prevention and therapy.
Biomarkers & measurement
Molecular, digital and functional markers that make biological ageing measurable.
Data & computation
Multi-omics, cohort data and AI models that accelerate hypothesis generation.
Translational research
Bridging laboratory findings toward interventions that can be tested in people.
Who takes part
What it produces
Discovery hands validated targets and measurement tools to clinical teams for testing in people.
