An international workshop which aims to provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of the latest and most exciting findings in senescence research, covering the impact of senescence in organisms and organs through to molecular mechanism, and possible interventions and therapies. World-renowned researchers, including a selection of the SPARC award holders, will be speaking in an informal relaxed environment; the meeting also offers plenty of off-timetable opportunities for networking.
Fresh from a gathering of the world's most respected ageing researchers at Oriel College Oxford, Dr Richard Faragher, SPARC Director and an advisor to Research into Ageing, the biomedical arm of Help the Aged will take time out to explain just what their findings mean for today's older people and what they could mean for those who will be older in the future.
