Age-Related Human Diseases Special Focus: Autophagy
25.09. – 27.09.2019
Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, Germany
24.09.2019 Science Outreach
Understanding the process of aging has always been a topic of fundamental interest in science.
As life expectancy rises, biomedical research focuses on ways to extend the human health span, hence aims to prevent or delay the onset of age-related human diseases.
Functional modulation of autophagy, an essential cellular survival program, represents a characteristic feature of aging and the basis for the onset of age-related human diseases.
The goal of this joint conference by the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM) and the German Society for Cell Biology (DGZ) in September 2019 is to bring together leading experts, students, young investi gators and industry to address recent discoveries on the topic of age-related human diseases, focusing on the role of autophagy in human pathologies.
