15th Annual Alliance for Healthy Aging Conference
From mechanisms of age-associated diseases to healthy aging
Each year, a conference is organized for scientists, clinicians, engineers, and students to exchange research results and ideas on translational research on aging. These meetings foster research collaborations, act as a springboard for new research grants and directions, and accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries to clinical practice by bringing together an expert and interdisciplinary panel with unique clinical, scientific, and commercial perspectives.
