# CSHL Mechanisms of Aging Conference

> **NIH NIH R13** · COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY · 2020 · $39,930

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The proposed meeting series on the Mechanisms of Aging is to be held biennially in 2020, 2022 and 2024 at
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Since its inception 22 years ago, this conference has arguably become the leading venue for presentation of
the latest progress in aging research, which is a rapidly expanding and fast-moving research field. This
conference has experienced a 27% growth of total participants since 2012, and in 2018 the number of
attendees surpassed 300. National and International interest continues to increase, such that over the next six
years, the expectation is that each meeting will bring together up to 350 scientists from around the world
working on different aspects of the molecular genetics of aging.
The meeting will provide an in-depth forum for presentation of new findings in different areas of aging research.
Platform sessions in the 2020 meeting will include: Tissue maintenance/stem cells; Epigenetics; Cellular
homeostasis; Metabolism; Systems biology; Neural control of aging; Senescence, DNA repair, and stress
response; Small molecule interventions. Two poster sessions will also be included.
The oral sessions will be chaired by leading scientists in the field and will feature a large number of short talks
selected from openly submitted abstracts, which will be evaluated three months before the meeting. This is
exceptional in that it promotes the development of new ideas by facilitating the presentation of late-breaking
findings. Moreover, the meeting routinely accommodates a large percentage of presentations by students and
postdocs, thereby fostering the next generation of young scientists and helping them promote their careers in
aging research. These young researchers will also benefit from organized mentoring and career development
activities, such as small-group lunches with session chairs and career dinners with senior leaders.
