She watched Alzheimer’s disease take both her grandmother and her aunt. As a physician and neuroscientist with one copy of the APOE4 gene, she explains why her research at MIT convinced her that slowing biological brain aging by five years makes Alzheimer’s six times less likely, and why she believ...

In this conversation, the founder of Vero Bioscience walks through what a single vial of blood can reveal about the biological age of eleven different organs. He discusses technology built in Stanford neuroscientist Tony Wyss-Coray’s lab and just spotlighted in TIME’s 2026 Longevity Leaders issue and why his own test came back showing a kidney ...
