Deependra ThapaSchool of Public Health- Bloomington, Indiana Universitydethapa@iu.eduBloomington, INOur department focuses on developing rigorous statistical methods for aging research, particularly testing the compression of morbidity (CoM) hypothesis. CoM explores the balance between healthy lifespan and morbidity as longevity increases. Our project assesses whether life-extending interventions compress morbidity by comparing rates of decline in vitality and survival using intraindividual vitality and population survival curves, advancing insights into how aging interventions affect health.Our organization seeks teaming partners with expertise in aging research, biostatistics, and innovative interventions targeting healthspan. Ideal collaborators include those skilled in analyzing vitality and survival data, developing biomarkers, and conducting translational studies in human and animal models. We value partners committed to advancing rigorous methods to test the compression of morbidity hypothesis and fostering interdisciplinary approaches to promote healthy aging.TA2:  Repurposing FDA-approved interventions for healthspan extension
Paola SebastianiTufts Medical Centerpsebastiani@tuftsmedicalcenter.orgBoston, MADisease is considered an inevitable effect of aging but our studies of centenarians have shown that some people can reach extreme old ages in good health and good cognitive and physical functions. I work with cohorts of centenarians to discover genetic and non genetic factors that promote resilience and resistance to disease and aging-related functional declines.My work uses advanced statistical modeling techniques. It would be useful to team up with experts in AITA3:  Second generation interventions
