DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to provide partial support for the Biology of Aging Gordon Research Conference (GRC) ;"Aging: Evolution to Intervention" to be held at Clarion Ventura Beach Hotel, Ventura, CA, Mar 9-14, 2003. The conference will be organized by the elected Co-Chairs Drs. John Tower, Eugenia Wang, and Rudy Tanzi. The overall aim of this conference is to bring together leading gerontologists in the fields of molecular biology, genetics and physiology to promote a synergistic discourse and exchange on the mechanisms of aging. State-of-the-art sessions are scheduled in several of the critical areas of experimental gerontology. Session topics include: Evolution of aging, Insulin-like signaling and life span, Mitochondria and oxidative stress, Aging diseases and healthspan, Stem cells and tissue repair, Genomic instability and aging, and Hormonal control of aging. Each session is designed to integrate model systems with studies of human health. The title of this meeting, "Aging: Evolution to Intervention" refers to two themes that reach through each session. The first is the study of aging from an evolutionary standpoint. Significant advances have been made in our understanding of life span as an evolved life history trait and this understanding has guided and informed analysis of the genetics, molecular biology and physiology of aging. Second, the field as a whole is rapidly evolving from one of primarily correlative studies to one focused on experimental and medical interventions into the aging process. Funds are requested to provide reimbursement for the conference fees and travel expenses of approximately 46 speakers plus the Conference Co-Chairs. In addition, funds are requested to support the expenses of approximately 10 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new, junior faculty who would benefit from and contribute to the conference. Significant funding is also provided by the Gordon Research Conference Organization, and additional funds are being solicited from private foundations and industry.

描述（由申请人提供）：申请资金为老龄化生物学戈登研究会议（GRC）提供部分支持；“老化：进化到干预”将于2003年3月9日至14日在加州文图拉市的克拉里昂文图拉海滩酒店举行。会议将由当选的联合主席dr .。约翰·托尔，尤金尼亚·王，还有鲁迪·坦兹。本次会议的总体目标是汇集分子生物学，遗传学和生理学领域的领先老年学家，以促进关于衰老机制的协同话语和交流。最先进的会议安排在实验老年学的几个关键领域。会议主题包括：衰老的进化，胰岛素样信号和寿命，线粒体和氧化应激，衰老疾病和健康跨度，干细胞和组织修复，基因组不稳定和衰老，以及衰老的激素控制。每次会议都旨在将模型系统与人类健康研究相结合。这次会议的标题是“老龄化：进化到干预”，指的是贯穿每次会议的两个主题。第一个是从进化的角度研究衰老。我们对寿命作为一种进化的生命史特征的理解取得了重大进展，这一理解指导并为遗传学、分子生物学和衰老生理学的分析提供了信息。其次，这个领域作为一个整体正在迅速从一个主要的相关研究发展到一个专注于实验和医学干预衰老过程的研究。
