CMU CompBio Researchers Take Leading Roles in NIH SenNet Program

By Aaron Aupperlee

Carnegie Mellon University’s Computational Biology Department will lend leadership, critical expertise and computational resources to an ambitious National Institutes of Health program to locate and study senescent cells in the human body.

The NIH Common Fund today announced the establishment of the Cellular Senescent Network (SenNet) program and $125 million in funding over the next five years. SenNet is an effort to map senescent cells in the body to better understand how and why they develop and set the course for new therapies for age-related diseases.
