Protein interaction networks, stress, apoptosis and aging

Description:

In this project we analyze the changes of protein-protein interaction networks in stress, in apoptosis, during aging and in disease. We extend our studies to other types of networks trying to identify common topological transitions in networks during crisis and recovery. We study the disassembly and reassembly of network modular structure during and after stress, where creative network elements, such as molecular chaperones play a key brokerage role in the latter process.
