Quantitative Proteomics to Develop Robust Senescence-Related Biomarkers for Aging
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE There is an urgent need for Biomarkers of Aging to predict and monitor age-related conditions and complex phenotypes of aging. We propose to develop robust biomarkers and high-throughput proteomics assays for proteins that are regulated and secreted during cellular senescence. After thorough validation of these candidates as biomarkers of aging they will be quantitatively measured in plasma and plasma exosomes from human aging cohorts, and subsequently correlated to aging and specific health outcomes.
