Furthermore, a session on Ageing and Wellness about optimising opportunities to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives as people grow older is foreseen. In addition, there will be several short talks selected from submitted abstracts, as well as poster sessions each evening.  Authors of short talks and posters, like the invited speakers, will be invited to submit a paper summarising their presentation for the proceedings volume, which will be published in special issues of Biogerontology journal edited by Suresh Rattan and myself early in 2011. http://www.unipa.it/immunopatologia/biogerontology.htm     EMBO Conference Series, 13-16 Nov 2010, Heidelberg, Germany From Functional Genomics to Systems Biology http://www.embl.de/training/courses_conferences/conference/2010/OMX10-01/index.html     VII- IAGG Congress, 14-17 April 2011, Bologna, Italy VII International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) European Congress on Healthy and Active Ageing for all Europeans. http://www.iaggbologna2011.com/     Gordon Research Conferences, July 31 - Aug 5 2011, Bryant University Smithfield, RI Hormone Action in Development & Cancer This conference will bring together leading scientists, working in academia, medicine and industry, on the hormonal control of development, reproduction and cancer. This unique mixture of researchers and topics will provide a synergistic cross-fertilization of ideas and knowledge. Major topics will include hormone action on gene expression, development and physiology, and how these pathways can be manipulated by mutations, endocrine disruptors, diet and lifestyle. A new sub-focus for this year will be the hormonal control of metabolism, and the reciprocal roles of newly discovered metabolic hormones on development, clocks, behavior and disease. Applications for this meeting must be submitted by July 10, 2011 http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2011&program=hormone     [ Last events ]
