Abstract:
Aging is a leading cause of human morbidity and mortality, but efforts to slow or reverse its effects are hampered by an incomplete understanding of its multi-faceted origins. Systems biology, the use of quantitative and computational methods to understand complex biological systems, offers a toolkit well suited to elucidating the root cause of aging. We describe the known components of the aging network and outline innovative techniques that open new avenues of investigation to the aging research community. We propose integration of the systems biology and aging fields, identifying areas of complementarity based on existing and impending technological capabilities.
