On Aug. 10, 2020, Epitracker and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) announced the results from a groundbreaking, 25-year study of bottlenose dolphins that identified factors differentiating individuals with slow and accelerated aging rates.

The study results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, highlighted how biological differences between dolphins, living in the same natural ocean environment and receiving routine medical examinations under the care of the U.S. Navy, may inform new approaches to slow degradative processes associated with aging.
