About the company
Lead investors Trio Line Holding and Ascenta are establishing a privately-owned facility providing biomarker analysis to customers from the street who are interested in knowing their biological age. The biological age provides persons with a status of their aging from a biological standpoint, as opposed to the chronological age. The individual biological age is calculated by a scientifically based algorithm using input from the measurement of clinical biomarkers of multiple systems (immune, metabolic, cardiovascular, kidney, and liver), epigenetic data such as DNA methylation, as well as general factors such as BMI, sex and more. As a start-up company, we currently consist of the founder team only, but with the intention to grow to a full functioning facility with 3-8 FTEs located at a great location in central Copenhagen.
