Abstract

Ageing is a complex biological process involving interactions between a number of biochemical mechanisms whose effects occur at the molecular, cell, tissue and whole organism levels. Rapid progress is being made in aspects of the molecular biology and functional genomics of ageing but an urgent requirement is now to develop an innovative biomathematical and bioinformatics system that will allow the integration of data and hypotheses from diverse biological sources. This proposal is to establish a biology of ageing e-science integration and simulation system (BASIS) that will encourage and support the interaction between biological science, bioinformatics, IT, computer science, mathematics and statistics in this recognised priority field.
