As advances in medicine and technology have enabled societies to enjoy longer lifespans, increasing numbers of people will live to experience the negative effects age-associated diseases. An early-stage therapeutics company has engaged BCBA to identify appropriate molecular targets to combat age-associated diseases using high-throughput, high-dimensional approaches. Specifically, the BCBA team will use primary and secondary research methods to prioritize 1) organ systems with the highest potential for age-associated therapeutic interventions and 2) diseases best suited to the company’s methods of therapeutic intervention.
