Nature | August 2016| Summary Mice deficient in the DNA excision-repair gene Ercc1 (Ercc1∆/−) show numerous accelerated ageing features that limit their lifespan to 4-6 months1, 2, 3, 4. They also exhibit a ‘survival response’, which suppresses growth and enhances cellular maintenance. Such a response resembles the anti-ageing response induced by dietary restriction [...]
September 23-24 - 2016 | Warsaw, Poland | We cordially invite you to share and discuss your views on one of the most important and urgent issues – THE FUTURE OF AGEING. Most of us now expect to live a long life and will experience ageing and old age. Understanding the biological, biomedical, demographic and psycho-social aspects of ageing is [...]
Augustus 30-31 - 2016 | Gothenburg, Sweden | Our life expectancy is increasing. But we don’t just want to live long – we also want to maintain our health. As the ageing population rapidly becomes one of our biggest challenges, research on ageing grows into a hot and important field. We would therefore like to welcome [...]
Following the inspirational kick- off meeting we bring out the first newsletter of the association. In the newsletter you will find interesting information about the Kick- off meeting. You will also find a brief summary of a Lorentz meeting on Ageing Research which took place in January of this year. Click here to open the newsletter. Would you like [...]

Translational Aging Research: Challenges and Opportunities The aim of the workshop is to generate a roadmap of translational research on ageing by discussing compelling results obtained in animal models and human studies. The translational roadmap will be based on observations in cohort and clinical studies, amenable mechanisms investigated in humans and animal models, experimental designs [...]
October 19-20 - 2016 | Montreal, Canada | The Sherbrooke Research Center on Aging is organizing its second international Symposium on the Biology of Aging. After the success of its first theme “from Cells to Clinics” this Symposium aims at exchanging on the topic of healthy aging and associated pathways. Leading experts will present their newest [...]
