About the Clock Foundation
The Epigenetic Clock Development Foundation (“Clock Foundation”) is a California non-profit that is dedicated to speeding the availability of treatments that prolong health and life expectancy. It was formed in July 2020 by Robert Brooke and Dr. Steve Horvath from UCLA, the developer of epigenetic aging clocks. Epigenetic aging clocks based on DNA methylation are strong indicators of biological age, the reversal of which promises to lower the risk of multiple chronic diseases and to preserve the immune system. The foundation seeks to further develop epigenetic aging clocks, as well as other key enabling technologies for its mission, identify promising teams that are able to use them, and to make these technologies available to our partners and collaborators, including researchers, physicians, contract research organizations, drug development companies, and more.
