I’ll explore how to reliably distinguish biological aging from technical noise, and why that matters for disease prediction & intervention.

Let’s connect if you’re into aging, biotech, translational research & longevity.

Thrilled to announce I’ll be speaking at Longevity Biotech 2025 (Boston, Oct 22–23) — many thanks to Longevity Biotech for this opportunity.

My session: “Biological vs. Technical Reliability of Epigenetic Clocks & Implications for Disease Prognosis & Intervention Response.”

New episode of Decoding Longevity lands tomorrow! 🧬

We talk to Dr. Iman Azimi about senescent cells, why they aren't all alike, and how his study might reshape how we approach aging with drugs like rapamycin.

Hosts: @rvsehgal.bsky.social & Macsue Jacques

Grateful to have spoken at #BTBA2025 last week!

I shared our work on SystemsAge, which utilizes epigenetic biomarkers to quantify system-specific aging.

Our biomarkers are designed to detect early physiological decline, enabling personalized interventions before symptoms arise.

Some are already in clinical use.

We built SystemsAge, a tool that measures aging in 11 organ systems from a single blood draw.
It’s now in use across longevity clinics, biotech trials, and academic research.

New drop from Decoding Longevity 🎙️

Peter Fedichev shares why reprogramming isn't enough.

Catch it now via @decodinglongevity.bsky.social

Decoding Longevity @decodinglongevity.bsky.social · Jun 9

🧬 New insights from physicist Peter Fedichev in Episode 6 of Decoding Longevity:

“Longevity science must shift from treating symptoms to preserving resilience.”

We explore why reprogramming isn’t enough and what truly matters in aging research.

rvsehgal.bsky.social @rvsehgal.bsky.social · Jun 3

It’s an honor to join fellow panelists like Sheng-hong Chen, Stan Wang, and Kejun Ying (Stanford).

Many thanks to the Boston Taiwanese Biotechnology Association and Michael Sun for the kind invitation.
