About

Professor Andrea B. Maier, MD, PhD, FRACP trained in medicine at the University of Lubeck, earned a PhD on cellular senescence at Leiden University Medical Center, and became a specialist in internal medicine and geriatrics in the Netherlands. At 33, she became Full Professor of Gerontology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She later led medicine and community care at the Royal Melbourne Hospital before joining the National University of Singapore, where she co-directs the Centre for Healthy Longevity. At Chi, her research career becomes the architecture for The Maier Method.

What to Know

Signature approach

Maier reads biological age across organ systems: cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive, musculoskeletal, and more. The point is not one headline age score; it is finding which systems are drifting ahead and matching each one to an evidence-backed intervention. At Chi, she sets the scientific architecture for what is measured, how results are interpreted, and what the clinical team turns into a plan.

What sets them apart

  • Research output with real weight. 500+ peer-reviewed papers, 35,000+ citations, and an h-index of 92 across cellular senescence, ageing biomarkers, sarcopenia, and organ-system ageing.
  • Standards-builder for the field. Founding president of the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society, which sets clinical practice standards for healthy longevity medicine.
  • Academic and clinical bridge. Concurrent roles at NUS and VU Amsterdam keep her work tied to research while Chi applies it in a private-clinic setting.

Before You Book

  • Ask about direct involvement. If Maier is the reason you are reaching out, confirm which parts of your programme she personally joins and which are delivered by the clinical team.
  • Expect team delivery. Her method anchors Chi, while physicians, dietitians, psychology, health coaching, and SPARKD deliver most day-to-day programme work.
  • Care focus. Clients who want geroscience-led interpretation of ageing markers, not a conventional executive physical.
