Biogerontology
30 Nov - 3 Dec 2008

VI European Congress of Biogerontology
The Congress focuses on understanding the determinants of ageing of animals and humans in relation to the individual life history. How does variation in the traits that make up the life history affect individual health and the ageing of the population? Especially research linking early developmental events and processes to the biology of ageing are of interest. These include neuroendocrine, metabolic, epigenetic and other traits influencing the ageing process and health in later life. New strategies that incorporate the full life history, from development to death, will be discussed that allow for parallel investigations of traits in humans and animal models.
