Terrie E Moffitt

Duke University, NC·Psychology

Terrie E Moffitt's lab at Duke University focuses on understanding biological aging through a novel measurement tool called DunedinPoAm4x. By analyzing blood samples and studying numerous physiological biomarkers over decades, the lab aims to pinpoint how quickly individuals age biologically compared to their chronological age.

What they work on

  1. Validate the DunedinPoAm4x as a reliable measure of biological aging.
  2. Investigate the relationship between DunedinPoAm4x scores and cognitive decline.
  3. Assess the impact of adverse childhood experiences on biological aging.
  4. Examine how lifestyle changes can affect the pace of biological aging.
  5. Compare DunedinPoAm4x with existing methylation clocks in various populations.

More about the research
