CSHL Molecular Genetics of Aging Conference

描述(申请人提供)：衰老分子遗传学系列会议将于2014年、2016年和2018年在冷泉港实验室每两年举行一次。自16年前成立以来，这次会议已经成为展示老龄化研究最新进展的绝对领先场所，老龄化研究是一个迅速扩大和快速发展的研究领域。这次会议(S)将汇集来自国际社会的大约300-350名科学家，他们致力于研究衰老的遗传学和分子生物学的不同方面。会议将提供一个深入的论坛，介绍分子衰老研究不同领域的新发现。2014年会议的平台会议将包括：炎症/免疫；DNA修复/衰老；组织维持/干细胞；表观遗传学；细胞动态平衡；新陈代谢；比较生物学/非标准模型；长寿基因和人类生物学；干预措施；和海报。口头会议将由顶尖科学家主持，并将在会议前三个月从公开提交的摘要中挑选大量简短的演讲。因此，这次会议通过介绍最新的发现，独特地促进了新想法的发展。此外，学生和博士后的演讲占很大比例，培养了下一代年轻科学家，帮助他们在老龄化研究领域提升自己的职业生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed meeting series on the Molecular Genetics of Aging is to be held biennially in 2014, 2016 and 2018 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Since its inception 16 years ago, this conference has become an absolute leading venue for presentation of the latest progress in aging research, a rapidly expanding and fast-moving research field. The conference(s) will bring together about 300-350 scientists from the international community working on different aspects of the genetics and molecular biology of aging. The meeting will provide an in-depth forum for presentation of new findings in different areas of molecular aging research. Platform sessions in the 2014 meeting will include: Inflammation/immunity; DNA repair/senescence; Tissue maintenance/stem cells; Epigenetics; Cellular homeostasis; Metabolism; Comparative biology/non-standard models; Longevity genes and human biology; Interventions; and Posters. The oral sessions will be chaired by leading scientists and will feature a large number of short talks selected from openly submitted abstracts three months before the meeting. As such, this meeting uniquely fosters the development of new ideas by presentation of late-breaking findings. Moreover, the large percentage of presentations by students and postdocs fosters the next generation of young scientists, helping them to promote their careers in aging research.
