Project Overview (a couple of sentences)
Why do some people tend to live a long life? My lab thinks that the wirings of our cells is part of the reasons. My lab thinks the interactions of genes in our cells behave like complex networks such as the internet. We use the mathematical models of these complex networks to study aging and to find out the network components that are important for longevity. With the ASPIRE support, a student is analyzing experimental data to verify our mathematical predictions.
