Eric T. Klopack

Eric T. Klopack studies how social conditions and life experiences become biologically embedded and influence aging and health. His work uses molecular markers such as DNA methylation ('epigenetic clocks'), gene expression, and blood-based biomarkers to understand differences in cognitive decline, disease risk, and mortality among older adults. Much of this research draws on large population surveys and machine-learning methods to link social inequalities with measurable biological aging.

Publication activity grew substantially through the late 2010s, peaked around 2022, and has remained steady at roughly 8-13 papers per year since.
