New York, USA and London, UK, November 28, 2023 — Today, Hurdle, a leader in diagnostic testing, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the Consumer Health division of Bayer, aimed at advancing innovations in healthy aging. This partnership aligns with our mutual ambition to transform self-care by offering personalized solutions.

This collaboration brings together Hurdle’s advanced diagnostic technology and Bayer’s expertise in product development and global market presence. A key focus of this alliance will be the promotion of Hurdle’s Chronomics Biological Age Test, a saliva-based epigenetic test, through Bayer’s direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels. This initiative underlines our commitment to advancing precision health and the science of biological age measurement.

Tom Stubbs, CEO of Hurdle, remarks, “Our partnership with Bayer signifies a major advancement in precision health. Hurdle has simplified the transition from biomarker discovery to impactful consumer products. Collaborating with Bayer’s unparalleled consumer health expertise, we are set to redefine and accelerate self-care solutions. Together, we are at the vanguard of precision health, focusing on both rapid and tailored solutions to progress the science of biological age measurement.”

At the heart of this partnership is Hurdle’s AI-driven epigenetics and multi-omics biomarker discovery engine, complementing Bayer’s strategic focus on precision health and digital tools for informed health decisions. Earlier this year, Bayer established a new business unit dedicated to developing innovative precision consumer health products.
