Abstract

Where should we look to find the causes of and cure for aging? This essay considers a number of scientific discoveries, not yet made, that might dramatically increase the proportion of biogerontologists doing useful work. I will consider, in turn, problems and prospects in the areas of comparative biology, mammalian and invertebrate genetics, biomarker research, caloric restriction, and clonal senescence and then conclude with a discussion of potential links between aging and late life disease.
