CONFERENCE ON BIOLOGY OF AGING

请提供资金，以支助应邀举办的专题讨论会，这些专题讨论会是将于2000年11月17日至21日在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行的美国老年学会（GSA）2000年年会生物科学部分的主要部分。 会议将由GSA生物科学部当选主席Eugenia Wang博士组织。 会议的目标是在实验生物学的许多关键领域提供最先进的科学研讨会，并吸引和促进研究人员，GSA成员和非成员之间的互动谁在实验室研究老化的生物学。 会议将邀请专题讨论会，讨论以下主题：（1）长寿和健康的基因表达工程;（2）基因和人类长寿;（3）复杂系统和老龄化;（4）从基因到健康老龄化的治疗;（5）老龄化的大脑：精神问题;（6）复制性衰老的里程碑和未来;（7）长寿保证基因和寿命的确定;（8）衰老，细胞因子和信号;（9）用动物模型研究衰老：过去，现在和未来;（10）“蓝天”生物技术革命和衰老研究。 要求提供资金，以支付作为全球服务协会成员的应邀发言者的部分登记费、经济舱机票旅费和每日津贴;并为非全球服务协会成员的应邀发言者提供支助，以减少登记费、旅费和两天每日津贴。 这些受邀的专题讨论会，以及其他生物部分GSA活动，包括学生专题讨论会，海报会议和全体会议，将使2000年年会成为新千年衰老生物学的一个里程碑式的事件。

Funds are requested to provide support for the invited symposia that constitute the major part of the Biological Sciences Section of the year 2000 Annual Meeting of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), which will be held in Washington, D.C. from November 17-21, 2000. The conference will be organized by Dr. Eugenia Wang, Chair-Elect of the Biological Sciences Section of the GSA. The goals of the meeting are to present state-of-the- art scientific seminars in many critical areas of experimental biogerontology, and to attract and promote interactions among researchers, GSA members and nonmembers who work in laboratory studies of the biology of aging. The Conference will feature invited symposia on the following topics: (1) Engineering Gene Expression for Longevity and Healthspan; (2) Genes and Human Longevity; (3) Complex Systems and Aging; (4) From Genes to Therapy for Healthy Aging; (5) The Aging Brain: Matter over Mind; (6) Milestones and Future of Replicative Senescence; (7) Longevity Assurance Genes and Life Span Determination; (8) Aging, Cytokines, and Signals; (9) Studying Aging with Animal Models: The past, Present, and Future; and (10) "Blue Sky" Biotechnology Revolution and Aging Research. Funds are requested to provide a portion of the registration costs, economy class airfare travel expenses, and per diem costs for invited speakers who are members of the GSA; and for those invited speakers that are not GSA members, support of reduced registration costs, travel expenses, and two days per diem reimbursement. These invited symposia, and other biological section GSA activities including student symposia, poster sessions, and the plenary sessions, will make the year 2000 annual meeting a monumental event for the Biology of Aging in the new millennium.
