David Furman | Epigenetic clock of intrinsic capacity | Milan Longevity Summit 2026

*Can we predict how well we will age—not just how long we will live?* In this session from *Measuring Ageing: Biomarkers, Clocks, and Predictive Tools at the Milan Longevity Summit 2026, Dr. David Furman explores the emerging science of epigenetic clocks and how they can be used to measure intrinsic capacity—the combination of physical and mental abilities that determines healthy ageing.* By integrating epigenetics, systems immunology, artificial intelligence, and large-scale human data, researchers are developing powerful tools to assess biological age, predict health trajectories, and identify opportunities for earlier, more personalised interventions. The discussion highlights how these innovations could transform preventive medicine by shifting the focus from treating disease to maintaining lifelong function and resilience. *Dr. David Furman is Director of the Stanford 1,000 Immunomes Project and Associate Professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging.* An internationally recognised leader in systems immunology and the biology of ageing, his research focuses on the molecular mechanisms that drive immune ageing and the development of biomarkers capable of predicting healthspan, resilience, and disease risk through precision medicine. The Milan Longevity Summit brings together global leaders across science, medicine, policy, business, technology and society to rethink the future of health through a One Health perspective—recognising that the wellbeing of people, planet and economies is deeply interconnected.
