Complexity is enor

mous
Complexity and comorbidities are daunting
and make experimental design difficult
Heterogeneity between individuals is great,
which make translation from homogenous animal models more difficult

Embrace complexity and
heterogeneity and figure out how to incorporate it into research strategies
Develop multidisciplinary teams within
and across institutions that focus on translation
Ensure that all trainees engaged in
aging research have multidisciplinary and translational education
Pick Low Hanging Fruit
- Increase focus on dysregulated
physiological systems already known to broadly impact health and well being
- Develop preventive strategies that target
dysregulated physiological systems (inflammation, RAS, SNS, HPA axis)
