Short Description NIA Scientific Director leading the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
Description Geriatrician Luigi Ferrucci oversees the oldest continuous study of human aging, tracking 3 k participants with omics, imaging, and functional assays. His team identified gait speed, grip strength, and IL‑6 as predictors of mortality, shaping global clinical‑trials endpoints. Ferrucci launched the ‘Deep Phenotyping’ initiative adding metabolomics and wearables to capture aging trajectories in real time.
