Our novel project focuses on using brain imaging and ageing biomarkers
to predict biological age in the UKBiobank dataset. A systemic measure
of biological age could have great utility in predicting health outcomes
in the ageing population and will be implemented as a publich health
tool. More details on the project and how to apply below.
