International Conference on Aging and Disease – Stanford – Sept 30 – Oct 2, 2016
Dear Colleagues,
The 2nd International Conference on Aging and Disease (2016 ICAD) will be held at Stanford University, CA, USA, from September 30 to October 2, 2016. The conference is organized by the International Society on Aging and Disease (ISOAD www.isoad.org). The conference Chair is the Dean of Stanford University School of Medicine. The confirmed speakers include many international distinguished researchers in the fields of aging and aging-related diseases http://isoad.org/content.aspx?info_lb=628&flag=103
The purpose of the conference is to create a forum for basic researchers and physicians to discuss current challenges in aging and aging-related disease. We believe that this conference will provide a platform that will help to fill the current gap between studies of the basic biology of aging and of aging-related disease. All information regarding the conference, including the conference site, speakers etc., can be found at http://isoad.org/content.aspx?info_lb=103&flag=103.
The first ICAD was held in Beijing in 2014, which was greatly successful. The report about the conference, entitled “Stop aging disease! ICAD 2014” was published in the ISOAD journal – Aging and Disease http://www.aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/AD.2015.0115. Following the conference, the ISOAD position paper was published on “The Critical Need to Promote Research of Aging and Aging-related Diseases to Improve Health and Longevity of the Elderly Population” (translated to over 10 languages http://www.longevityforall.org/the-critical-need-to-promote-research-of-aging-around-the-world/). The special issue of 2014 ICAD will be published in Progress in Neurobiology (impact factor 10.3 http://www.journals.elsevier.com/progress-in-neurobiology). The forthcoming ICAD conference in Stanford is anticipated to be no less impactful both for the advancement of science and public support for biomedical research of aging and aging-related diseases, for the achievement of healthy longevity.
The Conference deliberations will be on the following topics:
Session 1: Longevity Interventions
Session 2: Stem Cells, Aging and Disease
Session 3: Aging, Metabolism and Disease
Session 4: Aging, stroke and Cardiovascular Disease
Session 5: Age-Related Neurodegenerative Disease
Session 6: Genetics, Aging and Disease
Session 7: System Aging and Disease
Session 8: Aging, Immune and Translation
Session 9: Aging, Protein oxidation and Disease
Session 10: DNA Damage and Disease
Session 11: Public support for aging research
You are welcome to submit the abstract (http://isoad.org/content.aspx?info_lb=604&flag=103) as early as possible, so that after reviewing it would be easy for the organizing committee to guide you for further proceedings.
We hope to see you at ICAD 2016 in Stanford, on September 30 – October 2, 2016! Thank you for forwarding this announcement to colleagues!
