Ageing Cell Conference 2017

Ageing Cell Conference is organized by British Society for Immunology (BSI) and would be held during Mar 27 - 28, 2017 at Babraham Institute, Cambridge, England, United Kingdom. The Ageing Cell conference will bring together an international community of researchers from academia, industry and the clinic in the fields of immunology, genetics, epigenetics and signalling to discuss ageing at the cellular level.

Progressive physiological and physical decline are a part of normal ageing but increased age also increases the risk and incidence of numerous debilitating diseases and ailments including macular degeneration, dementia and cancer. Ageing is a societal grand challenge, scientific research offers the possibility to help more of us understand how to remain healthy, happy and active throughout life.

The conference sessions will include :
The ageing stem cell – how stem cell development, proliferation and function changes with age
The ageing immune system – how composition and function change with age
Signalling and the ageing cell – signalling pathways that control metabolism and cellular fitness
Epigenetics of the ageing cell – exploring changes to the epigenome during ageing
