This NIH grant supports research using photon-counting CT and machine learning to study aging mechanisms and develop interventions for age-related diseases.
Description
The project involves advanced photon-counting CT imaging, AI-based multiorgan aging clocks, and molecular profiling. It aims to reveal modifiable liver-centered pathways of aging and identify imaging-based biomarkers. The project will inform interventions for age-related diseases including Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. It is aligned with FDA-cleared PCCT platforms for direct translation to human studies.
