Area of Science:

* Gerontology and toxicology research.
* Development of automated phenotyping platforms for biological studies.

Background:

* Assessing the impact of interventions on aging and healthspan requires robust experimental models.
* Daphnia magna offers a complex yet short-lived model organism suitable for high-throughput screening.

Purpose of the Study:

* To introduce a novel, automated platform for evaluating life- and healthspan effects of interventions in Daphnia magna.
* To develop and apply machine learning models for predicting phenotypic age and assessing drug impacts.

Main Methods:

* Utilized an automated phenotyping pipeline to quantify complex behavioral features in large Daphnia magna cohorts.
* Developed predictive machine learning models correlating chronological age with phenotypic age.
* Applied models to estimate phenotypic age under pharmacological perturbation.

Main Results:

* The platform successfully quantified numerous behavioral features for life- and healthspan analysis.
* Machine learning models accurately predicted phenotypic age and its alteration by drugs.
* Demonstrated utility through long-term metformin and short-term caffeine/alcohol assays.

Conclusions:

* The developed platform offers a scalable framework for drug screening and characterization.
* This approach enables both life-long and instant assays for gerontological and toxicological studies.
* Provides a powerful tool for understanding intervention effects on aging and healthspan.
