Pan-European Network for Inflammaging: A Multi-omics Integration Approach (INFLAMomx)
The prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) rises with age, placing a significant burden on public health. As the population ages, an increase in co- and multimorbidity is anticipated, making prevention a key scientific priority at the European level. In recent years, considerable attention has been given to inflammaging, a chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with aging, which contributes to the development of various NCDs, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic conditions. The primary aim of INFLAMomx is to consolidate resources on NCDs through a Pan-European collaborative network and to investigate them as consequences of inflammaging using cutting-edge multi-omics approaches. This network will unite diverse European expertise across scientific fields (molecular biology, bioinformatics, and healthcare), while fostering collaboration across all career stages. Building upon European research initiatives, INFLAMomx will maximize the use of existing resources, strengthening computational biology and inflammaging research across Europe.
