## Description

Session 7: Models and Biomarkers
How do we tell if longevity interventions are extending our lifespans? By definition, to observe lifespan extension we will need to wait a lifetime. This session discusses approaches we use to shorten experiment time.

Topics:
- Animal models
- Organoids / ex-vivo models
- Biomarkers
- Clocks
- Omits / network

About the course:
Longevity Zero to One is a course designed to get you from zero biology to a general understanding of the intervention landscape and bottlenecks to progress. We on helping participants apply their existing skillsets to high-impact areas in longevity.

Attending all sessions is highly recommended.

If you don’t have a biology background, we highly recommend attending the 1st session (General Biology) and 2nd session (Aging Biology). If you do have a background in biology, feel free to skip the 1st session!
