Symposium on the Biology of Aging set for October 8 and 9, 2010

AFAR is proud to announce its third biennial symposium being held at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center on October 8^th and 9^th. 

Held in conjunction with the GlaxoSmithKline Foundation, the symposium brings together fellowship students to present posters, oral presentations and to network with their peers and with senior scientists.

We are delighted to announce our two keynote speakers:  Dr. George M. Martin, noted biogerontologist and a pioneer in the field of aging who will be our first keynote speaker and Joe and Terry Graedon of the People’s Pharmacy, who will close our symposium with their presentation  “Medicine in the Elderly.”

This year we have extended our symposium to include a Friday night session.  A poster session and reception will be held on Friday night with the Saturday session being a full day of presentations concluding with a keynote by the Graedon’s which will be open to the public.

This symposium is made possible from a generous grant from NC GSK Foundation.  In addition, this grant has funded the research of 18 students since 2005 and allowed AFAR to expand its presence across the US.
