Martina Mancini, Ph.D. and Nikesha Gilmore, Ph.D.

In this webinar, Drs. Mancini and Gilmore will describe how different types of biomarkers (including those retrieved by a patient wearable) can be used to examine the effects of cancer and cancer treatment on trajectories related to aging. Examples include digital biomarkers related to gait and balance, as well as a biological biomarker reflecting epigenetic age.
