Assess translational relevance across dogs, cats, humans, and experimental models. Review mechanisms, biomarkers, proposed endpoints, and intervention hypotheses. Identify high-value research questions and evidence gaps. Contribute to scientific frameworks used in product and research decisions. Review selected research protocols, technical reports, and scientific communications. Requirements PhD, DVM, MD, or equivalent terminal training in geroscience, aging biology, physiology, metabolism, comparative biology, or a closely related field. 5+ years of postdoctoral, academic, clinical, or industry work directly relevant to aging biology. Strong peer-reviewed publication record. Deep familiarity with primary literature in aging and healthspan. Demonstrated ability to evaluate translational evidence rather than mechanism alone.
