Exploring Methylation Clocks and Longevity Research
The chapter dives into the origins of methylation clocks as a measure of aging, starting from a teenage interest in extending lifespan to developing biomarkers for age determination. It discusses the epigenetic perspective on aging as a continuation of development, exploring the science fiction ideas of immortality and the current advancements in genomics and epigenetics for longevity. The conversation delves into the use of methylation patterns to predict lifespan, the development of epigenetic clocks for forensic applications, and the concept of 'grim age' for predicting mortality risk.
