Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 13th Congress of the International Association of Biomedical Gerontology (I.A.B.G) which will be held in Quebec City, Canada from May 18 to 20, 2009. The theme of the congress "Aging, cancer, and age-related diseases; common mechanisms?" recognizes the rapidly expanding research linking aging, age-related diseases and the delicate balance between neurodegeneration and cancer.
As you will see from the program information the meeting will cover a wide perspective on aging ranging from metabolic and cellular interventions in aging, oxidative stress resistance, protein folding and quality control and the troublesome relationship between prevention of chaperonopathies and the risk for cancer. There will also be extra sessions on the necessity of aging research and the prospect of healthy aging in our aging societies. In addition there will be scientific sessions of short talks and posters selected from the submitted abstracts.
You will also note that a free student registration will be offered to each regular registrant in order to attract the next generation of scientists who will be responsible for taking care of our aging population.
We look forward to greeting next May in Quebec City, a world heritage city rich in 400 years of culture and history.
Sincerely,
13th IABG Organizing Committee:
