Wellderly Study
Uncovering the Genetic Secrets of Good Health
Scripps genomic medicine researchers are looking to America’s “healthy elderly” — those 80 and older with no history of chronic disease — to help unlock the genetic secrets behind lifelong health.
Researchers continue to enroll participants in the “Wellderly Study,” which seeks 2,000 elderly volunteers to donate their DNA to the program’s gene bank. One-time blood samples will be studied by Scripps researchers to uncover the protective elements of the human genetic code. The program is open to people of all ethnic backgrounds living in the United States. Read more.
