Biology of Aging Program at the IAGG 2017

项目总结 该提案请求支持2017世界老龄生物学(BA)项目 国际老年学和老年医学协会大会(IAGG 2017)，由 美国老年学会生物学分会(BS)代表IAGG。我们相信， 当基础生物学研究人员交流时，整个老年学领域最好的工作将会出现 与医学研究人员和从业者分享与健康有关的人类老龄化问题的信息， 心理学家和社会学家。鉴于翻译老年学，这一点尤其正确，在新的 衰老的基本机制的知识被用来干预以下过程的基础 既是衰老的基础，也是与年龄相关的疾病的基础，从而提高人类的健康寿命。 在这方面，IAGG 2017年学士学位课程将提供一个出色的交流论坛 生物学家和非生物学家在衰老生物学方面的最新基本进展，以及 促进将这些发现转化为治疗干预措施和其他应用 促进人类健康寿命。我们的目标是： (1)使用单轨、不重叠的系列提供出色的科学方案 参加以衰老生物学的尖端研究为特色的研讨会 国家。 (2)将具有翻译潜力的最佳研究纳入其中，包括倡导的研究 通过老年科学倡议，促进跨学科互动和交流 在IAGG框架内老年学的生物学和与健康有关的学科之间的关系， 利用GSA现有的优势领域。 (三)为初级员工提供职业发展和领导力培养机会 不同背景的调查人员通过招聘、指导和培训国际 高标准开展新兴研究的初级科学家队伍

PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal requests support for the Biology of Aging (BA) program at the 2017 World Congress of the International Association for Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG 2017), organized by the Biological Section (BS) of the Gerontological Society of America on behalf of IAGG. We believe that the best work in the field of gerontology at large will emerge when basic biological researchers exchange information about health-related human aging issues with medical researchers and practitioners, psychologists and sociologists. This is in particular true in light of translational geroscience, where new knowledge of basic mechanisms of aging is used to intervene at the foundation of processes that underlie both aging and the age-related diseases, and thereby improve human healthspan. In that regard, The IAGG 2017 BA program will provide an outstanding forum to communicate recent, fundamental advances in the biology of aging to biologists and non-biologists alike, and to promote the translation of these findings into therapeutic interventions and other applications that promote the healthy human life span. We aim to: (i) Provide outstanding scientific programming using a single-track, non-overlapping series of symposia featuring cutting-edge research on the biology of aging from participating countries. (ii) Incorporate the best research with translational potential, including that championed by the Geroscience initiative, and promote interdisciplinary interaction and communication between biological and health-related disciplines in gerontology within the IAGG framework, using the existing GSA areas of strength. (iii) Provide career development and leadership building opportunities for junior investigators of diverse backgrounds by recruiting, mentoring and training an international cadre of junior scientists that conduct emerging research with high standards
