Swiss Researchers Validate Organ Age Testing Methods
A clinic in Zurich is charging 20,000 Swiss francs to determine the biological age of organs. A consortium of 16 university partners is working to validate new molecular measurements for clinical use. Researchers aim to bring these data-driven measurements to clinics more quickly. The high cost reflects the current complexity of the validation steps required. Researchers are currently focused on aggregating data to accelerate the validation process. The project aims to bring these validated measurements into clinical use for future medical applications. The initiative involves multiple aging researchers across the partner institutions. Researchers in Switzerland are working to determine biological organ age through new measurement values.
