Senotherapeutics Biomarker Consortium: Inaugural Summit
The Senotherapeutics Biomarker Consortium (SBC) Inaugural Summit is a landmark scientific gathering convened by the Phaedon Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the science of longevity and cellular senescence through research, education and cross-sector collaboration.
This inaugural summit unites leading academics, clinicians, biotechnology executives, and regulatory experts to address one of the most critical challenges in aging biology: the development, standardization, and clinical translation of senescence biomarkers. By bringing together diverse stakeholders across the full translational spectrum, the SBC aims to accelerate the path from mechanistic discovery to actionable clinical tools.
