DataBETA, a project of the Institute for Frontier Experimental Science

Database for Epigenetic Evaluation of Treatments for Aging (DataBETA)

The DataBETA project is a 3-year program, surveying people who are seriously interested in life extension to see what supplements they are taking, what diet and lifestyle modifications they have made, etc. We then use epigenetic clock technology (based on a saliva sample) to determine how fast each person is aging. The goal is to see if any of the anti-aging strategies in common use is really offering any benefit.
