Conference Description
Biochemical, genetic and physiological mechanisms of aging and age-related changes in humans and animals are presented at the Biology of Aging Gordon Research Conferences. This includes investigations of structure and function that characterize normal aging and investigations of the adverse changes that are risk factors for or accompany age-related disease states. A central objective of the aging conference is to stimulate awareness of the interdependence of genetic, functional and environmental interactions in determining and potentially combating aging. Over the last several years, a rudimentary understanding of some aging mechanisms in cells and simple animals has been generated. In other organisms such as C. elegans, yeast and Drosophila, molecular genetic studies have defined many of the genes that determine life span and gene expression changes associated with aging. In rodents, many biochemical pathways strongly associated aging and life span are now being confirmed and further studied using knockout and transgenic strategies. One of the most exciting advances in our understanding of aging involves the discovery of evolutionarily conserved mechanisms that control longevity, the insulin/insulin-like growth factor pathway in particular. Thus, our field is continuing to mature as we develop a deeper understanding of mechanisms applicable across species. The underlying goal driving the conference is to encourage participants to critically evaluate the latest insights into the aging process from the molecular to the whole organism, with a focus on defining rational approaches to health span extension. A Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is held in conjunction with this Conference. Click here for more information about the associated GRS.
