SenoITarg is an interdisciplinary project aimed at elucidating the role of senescent cells in different biological contexts of critical clinical relevance, including aging, cancer, acute and chronic tissue injury following pathological or iatrogenic insults.
The study will lead to the identification of novel elements of cellular senescence and potentially discover innovative pharmacological therapies to modulate this biological process.
Through an efficient network between four different Swiss laboratories it will be possible to develop new hypotheses, prognostic biomarkers and rational drug selection for future studies.
