Longevity India Initiative
The Longevity India Initiative, spearheaded by the Indian Institute of Science, aims to revolutionize ageing research in India. This comprehensive project involves a large-scale clinical study to identify biomarkers of ageing, leveraging collaborations between academia, industry, and healthcare. The initiative addresses the unique demographic challenges of India, where the elderly population is expected to reach 347 million by 2050. By integrating fundamental and applied research, and developing solutions to enhance quality of life and extend healthspan, the initiative sets a significant precedent in ageing studies tailored to India’s specific needs.
