Conferences, Workshops & Education Awards in Aging 1999

S. Michal Jazwinski, Ph.D. Gordon Research Conferences	Gordon Research Conference on the Biology of Aging 1999 Conferences, Workshops & Education Award in Aging An Ellison Medical Foundation award of $10,000 provided co-funding for the conference "Molecular Mechanisms of Aging: Metabolic Control and Resistance to Stress" held January 30 to February 4, 2000 in Ventura, CA. Sessions focussed on genetic analysis of metabolic signaling; biochemical and physiological analysis of metabolic signaling; analysis of stress responses; damage prevention and repair, mitochondrial involvement in damage control, mechanisms of aging in skeletal muscle, intercellular mechanisms of grain aging, proliferative homeostasis, and aging as a problem in complexity.
