Allen Frontiers Group is excited to announce two 2022 Allen Distinguished Investigator (ADI) initiatives based on ideas submitted to our 2021 Ask Anything, Change Everything campaign. Up to eight awards will be made for up to $10M total funding to support technology development in two areas: Protein Lifespan and Nutrient Sensing.The Protein Lifespan idea was submitted by David Thaller, Ph.D., during his postdoctoral fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital (Thaller is now a scientist at Moderna). Thaller writes:“Aging is the predominant risk factor for the development of a broad spectrum of disease, but the molecular basis of aging and its impact on molecular sociology at the cellular and organismal level are incredibly difficult questions to answer. I hope that generating tools to visualize the live dynamics of the “proteomic clock” across the cellular landscape will provide insight into both fundamental biology as well as disease etiology and progression.” Show less
