#### Title: **Global Senolytics Initiative: Elimination of Senescent Cells to Combat Aging**
#### Duration: **3 Years**
#### Total Budget: **$150 Million**
---
### 1. **Introduction**
Senescent cells accumulate in the body as we age and contribute to the development of age-related diseases. Senolytics are a promising class of drugs designed to selectively eliminate these cells, potentially slowing down or reversing aging processes. This project aims to harness global expertise and resources to accelerate the development and testing of senolytic therapies.
### 2. **Objectives**
1. Identify and validate new senolytic compounds.
2. Conduct preclinical and clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of senolytics.
3. Develop biomarkers for senescent cells to monitor treatment outcomes.
4. Foster international collaboration and knowledge sharing.
5. Publish findings and promote translational research to clinical applications.
