Harvard scientist Dr. George Church is listed a backer on a crowdfunding page for a functional aging biomarker test for anti-aging research.
According to the press release:

Harvard Medical School has reported successful aging reversal using genetic and biochemical methods in the labs of Dr. George Church and Dr. David Sinclair. The Church lab has encouraged the project to provide a system to validate such results by testing whether human subjects actually function physically at a younger age.
The Church Lab’s Personal Genome Project (PGP) hosts full human genomes (sequenced free of charge) and trait data from thousands of volunteers, including Alex and Elliott. The Functional Age Test will measure functional biomarkers of the lab’s PGP subjects compared to their sequenced genomes and of clinical trial subjects elsewhere, estimating the age at which a person physically functions, enabling researchers to validate measurements from genetic and biochemical aging interventions and reliably compare results across subjects, studies and approaches.
