This annual international summit will look at many facets of research and processes that are involved in ageing and senescence.  

With discussions ranging from discovery of biomarkers and assay development to immunology, this event promises to be packed with discussion and debate and is an ideal opportunity to discover what is new in the field. With an all round view of ageing, from diagnostics to therapy, this event will be multi-disciplinary.
