Project proposal: gears and aging

Abstract

I think that the data required to figure out the gears of most major human age-related diseases is probably already available, online, today. The parts to build an airplane are already on the market. We lack a blueprint: an end-to-end model of age-related pathologies, containing enough detail for each causal link in the chain to be independently validated by experimental and observational data, and sufficient to calculate whether a given intervention will actually cure the disease.
