2nd Interventions in Aging Conference : Understanding Mechanisms & Compressing Morbidity in Aging Human

2nd Interventions in Aging Conference : Understanding Mechanisms & Compressing Morbidity in Aging Human is organized by Fusion Conferences ltd and would be held during Mar 2 - 5, 2017 at Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. This interdisciplinary meeting will address the above two challenges in depth, with participation from basic scientists, physicians and pharmacology experts.

A plethora of genetic, dietary and pharmacological interventions can extend healthy lifespan in laboratory animals, and can delay or ameliorate diverse aging-related diseases. Many of the signalling pathways involved are evolutionarily conserved, and are starting to be implicated in human aging. This raises the intriguing possibility of performing preventative medicine against the chronic diseases of our time by targeting the main risk factor for all of them, namely aging. Two important current challenges in the field are (1) to understand the downstream pathways by which longevity interventions combat age-related loss of function and pathology, and (2) to translate the findings into the extension of human healthspan.
