DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Conference on the Molecular Genetics of Aging October 4 - 8, 2006. The proposed meeting on the Molecular Genetics of Aging, to be held biennially in 2006, 2008 and 2010, will bring together about 250-300 scientists from the international community working on different aspects of the genetics and molecular biology of aging. The meeting will provide an intense, in-depth forum for presenting new findings and formulating new ideas in different areas of molecular aging research in which rapid progress is being made. 2006 Sessions will include: (1) Genetics of Aging; (2); Genomics and Aging (3); Cancer & Telomeres (4) Genetics of Aging II; (5) Senescence & Apoptosis; (6) Mice & Altered Aging; (7) Metabolism & Aging; and (8) Mitochondria & Aging. In the past few years, remarkable progress has been made in establishing a molecular foundation in these areas, and their interrelationship is becoming increasingly clear. The meeting will feature anchoring talks by leading scientists working in these areas who will chair the individual sessions. 1 of the key strengths of the proposed meeting series is that because the large majority of talks are selected from the openly submitted abstracts 3 months prior to the meeting, ample opportunity is provided for junior scientists to present their results, and also for the presentation of important, late-breaking findings. The proposed meeting will foster interaction among molecular gerontologists and molecular biologists working in related areas, and provide a forum for the development of new ideas and approaches to aging research. Interest in aging research has risen sharply in recent years owing to 2 factors: firstly, an increasing proportion of the population in the United States are elderly, with resultant consequences on the nation's societal structure and economy brought about by this major shift in demographics. Secondly, the tools and advances of modern biology are helping to drive research into the molecular basis of normal aging and the relationship of these processes to diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. The central aim of the Cold Spring Harbor meeting series on the Molecular Genetics of Aging is to provide an open and interactive forum in which leading aging researchers and their junior colleagues can present and discuss their most recent unpublished work and form collaborations that facilitate future progress in the field.

说明（由申请人提供）：冷泉港实验室衰老分子遗传学会议，2006 年 10 月 4 - 8 日。拟议的衰老分子遗传学会议将于 2006 年、2008 年和 2010 年每两年举行一次，将汇集有关衰老分子遗传学的会议。来自国际社会的 250-300 名科学家致力于衰老遗传学和分子生物学的不同方面。此次会议将为分子衰老研究不同领域正在快速取得进展的新发现、新思路提供一个激烈、深入的论坛。 2006 年会议将包括： (1) 衰老遗传学； (2);基因组学与衰老 (3);癌症与端粒 (4) 衰老遗传学 II； (5) 衰老与凋亡； (6) 小鼠与衰老改变； (7) 新陈代谢与衰老； (8) 线粒体与衰老。过去几年，在这些领域建立分子基础方面取得了显着进展，它们之间的相互关系也越来越清晰。会议将由这些领域的顶尖科学家主持，他们将主持各个会议。拟议会议系列的主要优势之一是，由于绝大多数演讲都是从会议前 3 个月公开提交的摘要中选出的，因此为初级科学家提供了充分的机会展示他们的成果，也为他们的演讲提供了充足的机会。重要的、最新的发现。拟议的会议将促进相关领域的分子老年学家和分子生物学家之间的互动，并为发展衰老研究的新思想和新方法提供一个论坛。近年来，人们对老龄化研究的兴趣急剧上升，主要有两个原因：首先，美国老年人口比例不断增加，人口结构的重大变化对美国的社会结构和经济产生了影响。其次，现代生物学的工具和进步正在帮助推动对正常衰老的分子基础以及这些过程与癌症和阿尔茨海默氏症等疾病之间关系的研究。冷泉港衰老分子遗传学会议系列的中心目标是提供一个开放和互动的论坛，领先的衰老研究人员及其初级同事可以在其中展示和讨论他们最近未发表的工作，并形成合作，以促进未来在衰老分子遗传学方面的进展。领域。
